ACN Helicopters

ACN Helicopters Limited is a helicopter operator in Lagos, Nigeria. Medical evacuation and air ambulance flights are one of several services it offers. Its main work is flying for the oil and gas and maritime industries.

Services

The company lists these helicopter and aircraft services on its site:

• MEDEVAC (medical evacuation) and EMS (air ambulance, emergency medical services)
• Offshore charter flights for oil and gas
• Search and rescue
• Air maritime surveillance with helicopters, aircraft or drones

Aircraft

The fleet page shows the AW139, AW169 and AW189 helicopters. The site describes the AW139 as a helicopter with a cruise speed of 165 knots and a range of 675 nautical miles. The company also says it works with Leonardo Helicopters, the maker of these types. It says the AW139 can take off and land vertically in confined areas and on uneven ground, which suits work from small sites.

Who it is for

ACN serves Nigerian civil society, the maritime industry and the oil and gas industry. It describes itself as a 100 percent Nigerian helicopter operator. The site shows no separate air ambulance page, so medical flights are arranged with the company directly.
