NHV at Esbjerg Airport


Esbjerg Airport on Denmark’s west coast has long been a key aviation and transport hub. Among its notable operators is NHV (Noordzee Helikopters Vlaanderen), recognizable by its bright yellow helicopters. NHV plays a crucial role in offshore helicopter transport, particularly in the North Sea.


Esbjerg Airport is a key base for NHV A/S, supporting offshore personnel and equipment transport, including wind energy services on the North Sea. Its proximity to major oil and gas fields makes it ideal for NHV’s passenger, cargo, and training operations.


NHV operates three H175 helicopters at Esbjerg and employs 14 pilots, 14 technicians and eight office personnel.


Growth and Impact

Founded in 1997, NHV quickly became a trusted offshore transport provider that expanded across Europe and Africa. Initially serving the oil and gas industry, the company made Esbjerg Airport a key base due to its strategic location and modern facilities. While the airport dates back to 1948, the offshore energy boom of the late 20th century transformed it into a vital logistics hub, with NHV playing a significant role in its development.
