MESSAGE FROM KEITH MULLETT

Welcome to the latest issue of HomeBase – the first since we established our new global organization structure and leadership team on 1 June 2022.

It’s an exciting time for our business, with a number of new opportunities across different markets and locations. The changes we have made allow us to seize these opportunities and better align our organization and resources with our customers’ needs and our own strategic growth and diversification opportunities.

I’d like to thank all our employees for their hard work and continued commitment to our core values over the last few months.

Under the new structure, we have three geographically based operating units: PHI Americas (Americas), PHI Asia-Pacific (APAC) and PHI Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA). These business units are being supported by five global support functions in key best practice areas: Safety & Quality, Information Technology, Technical, Business Development and Sustainability, based out of our office in Lafayette, Louisiana, USA.

These geographic units are positioned to be responsive to our customer requirements and will better enable growth and diversification in all regions. Turn to pages 4 – 8 to read interviews with each of our three Chief Operating Officers – Jamie Hinch, Cory Latiolais and Jamie Mitchell.

The organization restructure is complemented by a new leadership line-up that places decision-making and management closer to key markets, customers and growth opportunities. It is my belief that this is one of the deepest and most experienced teams in the sector.

We are one team – one PHI Aviation – operating globally and delivering locally.

Safety remains a core focus for everyone at PHI as we progress towards our goal of Destination Zero. You can find more about our refreshed safety initiatives on page 10, where we discuss our commitment to reinforce our core values; increase safety awareness for all employees; listen, connect and engage; continue to promote safety leaders; and grow as a team.

This quarter also marked five years of operation at our Broome base (story page 24) and ten years of PHI Century’s operations (story page 12) – congratulations to everyone who has made this possible.

We bring you spotlight interviews with Jon Rudy, Chief Commercial Officer – Business Development (page 22); Isabel Orran Padilla – our new Senior First Officer in Cyprus (page 18); Jenny Barclay, Commercial Manager – EMEA (page 34); a warm welcome to Mark Leighton with PHI Cares (page 16), and an in-depth look at our Avionics Engineer Trainee Program in Trinidad (page 30).

We have also included two sustainability stories – one looking at 3D printing (page 36) and another exploring a recent emissions reduction initiative that was undertaken at our New Plymouth base in New Zealand (page 20).

I hope you enjoy reading these stories as much as I do – HomeBase is a testament to our people and the great work that they do every day.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this issue. Enjoy HomeBase.

Keith Mullett, Managing Director – PHI Aviation
