It will see NHV Group sub-let the 13,368 sq ft office and industrial unit, on Pitmedden Road, for six years – the remaining terms of Survitec’s lease.
Survival-One Limited (subsequently acquired by Survitec) originally took a 15-year lease on the unit from local landlord Gilcomston Investments Limited in 2011. In 2015, it went on to acquire the Survival Craft Inspectorate Ltd business, making the unit surplus to requirement when the two Aberdeen sites merged in 2017.
The deal will see NHV add to its existing heliport complex at Kirkton Drive, Dyce, which spans 2,400m² with hangar and offices, passenger terminal with check in, X-ray, security, safety equipment storage and issue, and safety briefing rooms.
Jamie John, NHV Group base manager, said: “We are excited to expand our Aberdeen facility where we currently operate a fleet of seven aircraft.
“Leasing the extra hangar will enable us to provide added capacity to continue offering a top-class service to our customers in close proximity to Aberdeen airport, whilst ensuring we meet requested deadlines.”
