Oregon, United States – Hillsboro Aero Academy has announced a major milestone with the graduation of two pilots, the first Guyanese offshore oil and gas helicopter pilots to complete an ab-initio cadet programme.

• The pilots trained under Hillsboro Aero Academy’s helicopter division in partnership with Omni Helicopters International (OHI).

• Their achievement marks a historic first for Guyana, with the pilots now qualified to operate in the offshore oil and gas sector—a field experiencing rapid expansion due to the country’s growing energy industry.
