Bristow secures five early Chaparral delivery positions
Bristow paid deposits to reserve five early Chaparral delivery slots, advancing its earlier letter of intent for up to 100 aircraft.

Evidence notes
- The five positions covered some of the first commercially certified aircraft planned off the production line.
- Bristow planned international logistics, healthcare and energy applications.
- The deposit-backed step was more concrete than the companies' 2022 letter of intent.
