Bristow

What does Bristow do?

Bristow includes transport, search and rescue (SAR), unmanned aerial vehicles, helicopter maintenance, modification or repair, and sales.  Bristow operates a fleet of approximately 240 of the industry’s most modern aircraft with the latest generation of technology and safety features. Bristow is the world’s largest operator of S-92, AW189 and AW139 model helicopters.

Bristow Australia has had a presence in Australia since the 1960s, and is based at Redcliffe, Western Australia. This organisation supports commercial maritime operations and industry. For example, a Bristow helicopter recently conducted a medevac for a sailor from a commercial vessel off the WA coast.

Bristow Australia (Bristow Defence Industries) also provides maintenance and logistics support for the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) Maintenance Contract for their helicopters (previously Super Puma and now Chinook) based at Oakey, Queensland, Australia.

The Australian Air Force Cadets acknowledges this country and its traditional custodians.

We acknowledge and respect the spiritual relationship between the traditional custodians and this country which is inspired by language of songs, dance law and dream time stories over many thousands of years and we pay our respect to the elders who have passed into the dreaming, those here today, and those of tomorrow. May we continue to peacefully walk together in gratitude, respect and kindness in caring for this country and each other.
