HAS recognised as first Airbus H175 service provider for Malaysia's O&G sector

KUALA LUMPUR: HAS International Sdn Bhd has been recognised by Airbus Helicopter Malaysia for its successful entry as the first H175 offshore helicopter service provider to the Malaysian oil and gas (O&G) sector.

HAS said the recognition followed the arrival of its new fleet of H175 aircraft at its base in Miri from where the company operates to serve major oil and gas clients in Sarawak since April 1 this year. 

"Flying the H175 also marks the company as the pioneer service provider to operate an aircraft in its premier class for the oil and gas sector in the South Asian region," it said. 

HAS managing director Hasery Bakar said the recognition reflected a new beginning for Malaysia's O&G services.

Hasery, who is a co-founder of HAS since 2012, said the milestone was attributed to the company's collective commitment and value to leveraging on advanced technologies for greater safety margins. 

"When we expanded our operations from Labuan to Miri last year, the H175 was an obvious choice for us, not just for its sheer size and capacity, but more importantly, we were drawn to its safety-intuitive capabilities.

"After all, safety is our business and every flight is a mission to transport our client personnel safely and securely," he said.

HAS thanked Hornbill Skyways Sdn Bhd as the contract owner on the provision of offshore helicopter services for Miri operations and its O&G clients, for its confidence in the company. 

"With our wealth of knowledge, expertise and operational know-how in offshore helicopter services accumulated over the last 10 years, we look forward to playing an active role in contributing to the sector while boosting our value-added services," he said.
