Twenty-five years ago, on the May 15 1997, NHV Group officially began helicopter operations from Ostend, Belgium. Co-founders Eric Van Hal and Jef De Kinder launched the NHV Group and ever since the company has flourished, growing from a family business to an international group with 500+ employees and a strong geographic presence in Europe and Western Africa.
Thomas Hütsch the CEO of NHV Group states, “We are very proud to celebrate this organisational milestone. From humble beginnings, starting with one base in Ostend, we have since made phenomenal development to achieve our leading position in the helicopter market.”
“Despite the oil and gas crisis, the pandemic, and major regulatory changes caused by the UK leaving the EU, our employees are the ones that have helped to shape NHV Group to be the successful company that we are today. We look forward to the next 25 successful years of safe flight operations.”
To commemorate the achievement of 25 years of continuous expansion, NHV will be running a celebratory campaign with a special company-wide commemorative event, a social media campaign to capture their historical events plus a commemorative video to consolidate their achievements.
