Acher Aviation was founded on OGP standards and has specialized in 24-hour offshore ship service activities by helicopter for the past thirteen years. Highly developed safety structures, administration, training, and carefully selected and specified twin-engined helicopters have allowed in excess of one hundred and forty thousand safe hoist operations, with this number growing at a rate of over thirty-five per day/night. This is complemented by several thousand deck landings. OGP crew transfers are routinely performed for all major Oil and Gas company vessels and rigs passing South African Ports.

The Acher hazard identification and risk management system is founded on OGP principles and has been developed and matured through over a decade of international ship service hoisting operations. Within the helicopter aviation community, this service is seen as far more demanding in respect of operational safety than routine offshore operations. To this end, Acher can additionally add a highly skilled safety base, CRM procedures, specialized skills training, and emergency response capability to any OGP offshore helicopter operation.
