Swire Oilfield Services has acquired US-based specialist aviation service company Gordon Engineering Services ("GES") as it looks to expand its interests in this sector across its North Sea and global operations. The two companies will offer a combined end-to-end aviation service, with the benefit of increased capabilities through the introduction of friction testing and custom-built helicopter refuelling systems. Established in 1995, GES specialises in aviation services including design, manufacturing, inspection, maintenance, training and rental of helifuel systems for the global oil and gas industry.
