Starting next year, ExxonMobil will have a new offshore helicopter services provider as the Portugal- headquartered Omni Helicopters Inc (OHI) has partnered with Roraima Airways to bring a service that it says will focus heavily on training and transfer of skills in the sector to locals.
“We have partnered with Omni. The intention is create a Guyanese helicopter company that meets oil and gas standards. How they are doing that is that we are going to be operating with expat staff, but while we are doing that we are going to be hiring and training local Guyanese to fill multiple roles in the aviation industry,” Roraima Air-ways Chief Executive Officer Gerry Gouveia Jr told the Sunday Stabroek.
