An agreement has been reached for a phased transition of Coastguard aviation services from the old operator to the new one.

Bristow will slowly begin to operate bases at Dublin, Sligo and Waterford.

It is replacing CHC Ireland.

Bristow has already begun running services at the Shannon base.

The Government says the new service will expand the Coast Guard’s aerial capabilities, including supporting the HSE, firefighters and environmental monitoring.
