There are currently 18 H175 aircraft supporting oil and gas activities – the majority flown by Belgium's Noordzee Helikopters Vlaanderen – with an accumulated flying time exceeding 16,000h.

CHC Scotia already operates another 16-passenger H175 (G-EMEA) in Aberdeen, with the helicopter delivered in late July on lease from Milestone Aviation.
