In an era where sustainability is becoming integral to operational success, the report sheds light on how Bristow has effectively integrated sustainable practices into its core business operations.
Among the report's key achievements, Bristow managed to complete an impressive 4,416 search and rescue missions while logging 15,861 operating hours, successfully assisting or rescuing 784 people worldwide.
