Helicopter Services in Greenland Related to GEUS Fieldwork 2021-2024

Reference number: 046-0022

60424120 Hire of helicopters with crew

Services

Every year GEUS carries out fieldwork during spring and summer making use of ad-hoc and full charter helicopter services. GEUS mainly uses smaller single-engine helicopters and work often takes place in unmapped areas. On occasion GEUS organizes geological field trips for professionals and VIP visitors. GEUS expects a continued strong commitment in Greenland for the years to come, a commitment that implies the use of helicopter services in all parts of Greenland. Over a period of 4 years (2016-2019) the need of helicopter assistance for GEUS operations has varied from 181 to 247.5 hours with an average of 219 hours per year as both full charter and ad-hoc operations. GEUS expects similar fieldwork activities for the years to come. To ensure the supply of helicopter services for such fieldwork activities GEUS wishes to enter a framework agreement with one or more experienced service providers that can provide GEUS with helicopter services in Greenland for a 4-year period.
