Celebrating the Rotorcraft That Keep Us Moving!

Yesterday was World Helicopter Day, a perfect opportunity to celebrate the incredible machines, technology and people that make vertical flight possible.

We’re proud to operate a diverse fleet across the AW139, AW169, H175 and H145, and this year we were excited to add the Airbus H160 to our fleet. Each aircraft brings its own capabilities, performance and technology, helping us deliver safe, reliable and efficient operations across a wide range of missions.

From the engineering behind every rotor turn to the expertise of the crews who fly them, yesterday was all about celebrating the helicopter and the people who make it possible.

Here’s to innovation, aviation and the future of rotorcraft.

Happy World Helicopter Day!

Taking hospitality to new heights during the Belgian Grand Prix!

During the Belgian Grand Prix Formula 1 weekend (17-19 July), we had the privilege of operating exclusive VIP flights, offering our guests a fast, comfortable, and unforgettable way to travel while experiencing one of the most exciting events on the motorsport calendar.

From seamless arrivals to breath taking views and premium service, it was a pleasure to be part of such an iconic weekend and help make every journey as memorable as the race itself.

A special thank you to Aeroclub Limburgse Vleugels in Zwartberg for the warm welcome and the excellent collaboration. Their flexibility and ability to arrange hangar space for our H145 at very short notice made a real difference and were greatly appreciated.

Yesterday, NHV had the pleasure of hosting Kemi Badenoch, Leader of the Conservative Party, alongside Douglas Lumsden MSP and Harriet Cross MP.

The visit featured a roundtable discussion with key industry leaders, organised by OEUK, focusing on the current UK offshore landscape and the critical role our sector plays in supporting energy security, sustaining highly skilled jobs, and driving economic growth.

Following the discussion, the NHV team provided a guided tour, highlighting the essential role helicopters play in enabling and supporting offshore operations.
