Malaysian based Weststar Aviation continues their international expansion with operations just starting in Morroco. This country represents their third country and the first outside their Far East home region.
Weststar Aviation have leased in two AW139s from AgustaWestland, with one either bought back or leased in from CHC and being flown in their basic colours. The second aircraft has more recently been in the manufacturer’s training fleet. Both are operating on the French register.
The two helicopters are based at Agadir, and operating for Kosmos Energy. Weststar declined to state in an email response to HeliHub.com how long the contract was for. Kosmos has extensive drilling rights of approximately 22,000 square miles in the Atlantic off Morocco.
