Bristow responds to media speculation concerning Airnorth

We do not comment on industry rumors or speculation. As part of its financial restructuring process, Bristow Group Inc is reviewing all possible options to help the company emerge a stronger, more financially stable company and is constantly re-evaluating its portfolio. No final decisions have been made and we continue to work through the process to determine the best path forward for both our global parent company and our local operations.

Airnorth remains committed to operating services and maintaining a modern fleet designed to successfully support the demands of our regional communities, businesses and customers. Airnorth maintains a leadership position in the Northern region of Australia with strong financial performance and a continued expansion of its business highlighted by the recent introduction of new seasonal services to the Gold Coast and growth in jet frequencies on key routes such as Perth, Cairns and to Dili, in Timor-Leste.

Airnorth has been an integral part of the Northern Territory for more than 41 years never giving up, even when others have come and gone. Airnorth is proud to provide essential air services to communities all-year round, enabling prosperity for families, businesses and entire regions.

Headquartered in the Northern Territory, employing more than 220 locally based staff, Airnorth invests over $A50m per annum into the Northern Territory economy by supporting local suppliers, communities and contractors. Airnorth is active in promoting the NT domestically and internationally as a destination to live, experience and enjoy, which was formally recognised in 2018 when the airline won the prestigious Brolga Award for Destination Marketing.

Airnorth is more than just a business, we are a crucial part of the social and economic fabric of the Northern Territory that is vital to many of our valued clients within the major resources, oil and gas industries, and to more than 330,000 flying customers each year.

The Airnorth team remains focused on continuing to safely serve its customers and driving and growing the performance of its business.
