The operations are foreseen to start in December 2020 and will depart from Blackpool, UK.

“We are honoured to be chosen aviation partner for Spirit’s East Irish Sea Operations. NHV continues to invest in fleet and training to take on unique projects just like this one,” said Mike Gislam, accountable manager for NHV in the UK. “Our team is eager to deliver flexible and customer-friendly but above all safe operations.”
