NOGEPA medevac helicopter in Den Helder – First flight
In these times with many difficult decisions that have to be made in the light of the outbreak of Covid-19, our whole Bel Air team are very pleased and proud of our cooperation with NOGEPA and Den Helder Airport in Holland – a fantastic cooperation with all oil companies and operators in the Dutch sector.
Our Bel Air team has in cooperation with NOGEPA set up a medevac helicopter, that secures the employees on all platforms in the Dutch sector. In case the back-up doctor for the offshore installations determines that an employee who has signs of COVID-19 virus should be transported to shore and is fit to travel, our team will take care of the transportation by our medevac helicopter to Den Helder Airport, where special arrangements are in place.
Yesterday afternoon we had our first flight and we were happy to help the person in question, who has now been flown safely back to Den Helder. We wish a speedy recovery and also all the best to everyone in these extraordinary times.
Please rest assured that all necessary arrangements have been made both by Den Helder Airport, by the oil company and by Bel Air to ensure that the flight is performed with minimum risk for spreading potential virus.
Stay safe.
