Bristow Norway AS (formerly Norsk Helikopter) is a Norwegian helicopter company that transports crew to oil installations in the North Sea.
Offshore helicopter transport in Norway was traditionally dominated by Helikopter Service.
Both the authorities and the oil companies wanted multiple operators to stimulate competition.
In 2008 the Ugland Group sold its shares to Bristow, in a deal which secured them full ownership of Lufttransport.
The 'Norsk Helikopter' brand was retained by Ugland, who sold it to Avincis Group (since purchased by Babcock International).
