We are pleased to announce the extension of our partnership with Prime Energy (Prime Energy Resources Development B.V.). This extension reaffirms our commitment to delivering exceptional safety, service, and collaboration. Under this renewed agreement, we will continue to operate two AW139 helicopters from our El Nido base in the Philippines, providing essential support to Prime Energy’s Malampaya Project offshore facilities. These helicopters will facilitate offshore crew changes and medical evacuation services, ensuring operational continuity and safety. Our partnership with Prime Energy has been marked by mutual respect and a shared dedication to excellence. Together, we have contributed to the success of the Malampaya Project, which plays a significant role in the Philippines' energy sector by reducing oil imports and meeting a significant portion of the country’s energy needs. Cory Latiolais, CSP, PHI’s Asia Pacific Chief Operating Officer, mentions: “I would like to take a moment to recognise our team for their hard work through the years. PHI looks forward to continuing this journey together, as we are committed to delivering exceptional service and safe flight operations.” 

We are thrilled to announce a momentous milestone in our journey: PHI’s enduring 30-year partnership with Esso Australia. Together, we have supported operations in Longford, Victoria, with unwavering commitment and excellence. From providing skilled Pilots, Engineers, and Support staff to facilitating offshore aviation activities, our collaboration has evolved significantly. Today, Esso Australia boasts a fleet of five Leonardo AW139 aircraft, a testament to our shared dedication to innovation and progress in aviation services.
