Bristow Group Inc.

One of the world's largest helicopter operators, Bristow Group flies crews and supplies to offshore oil rigs and runs government search-and-rescue missions, including the U.K. Coastguard service. It was founded in 1955 by Alan Bristow, a former Royal Navy test pilot who landed his first contract carrying workers to Persian Gulf oil rigs after boats proved unreliable. In 2020 the company merged with rival Era Group, and its stock trades under the fitting ticker VTOL.
