Atlanta, Georgia 5th March 2019 - Everett Aviation today announced the addition of a first Sikorsky S-92A ® to its fleet in readiness for an anticipated expansion of operations throughout sub-Saharan Africa.

“We’re delighted to be introducing the S-92A to the Everett fleet,” said Simon Everett, CEO.

“Many countries across sub-Saharan Africa are seeing a tremendous boom in infrastructure and civil engineering projects and our new S92 is ideally suited to supporting those missions.” Everett continued.

“This particular helicopter is equipped with a highly versatile utility interior which can seat up to 19 passengers in standard configuration, or mix passengers with stretchers or cargo in a combi configuration. We also see opportunities for the S-92A in the offshore role in our region and we plan to offer that configuration to our clients soon.” Everett continued.

“This S-92A will be the largest civilian helicopter of its type in our region and we’re very excited about adding this unique capability to our fleet”, concluded Everett.

Everett’s S-92A ® is expected to arrive in East Africa in mid-April and will initially be based at Everett's class leading headquarters facility in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
