Denmark - Hire of helicopters with crew - Helicopter Services in Greenland related to GEUS fieldwork 2026-2029

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. The need of helicopter assistance for GEUS operations varies between 150 and 250 hours per year with an average of 219 hours (2016-2019) for 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 Framework Agreements with one or more experienced service providers that can provide GEUS with helicopter services in Greenland for a four-year period.
