Bristow Group said Chief Operating Officer, Government Services, Alan Corbett will retire at the end of 2026, after more than a decade with the company and a little more than three years in the top Government Services operations role.
Corbett joined Bristow in 2014 and has held five senior leadership posts across the company’s international business: Region Director of the Europe Business Unit, Region Director of the Europe Caspian Region, Vice President of EAMEA, Senior Vice President for Europe, Africa, Middle East, Asia and Search and Rescue, and then Chief Operating Officer, Government Services in February 2023.
During that period, Bristow said it won several major long-term government contracts tied to Corbett’s leadership, including the UK Search and Rescue Second-Generation program, the Irish Coast Guard contract, and the Netherlands and Dutch Caribbean Coast Guard programs.
The company said Corbett will stay in place until a successor is named and will help oversee the transition. Bristow has begun a global search with an international executive search firm.
Bristow’s Government Services business is one part of a broader aviation portfolio that also serves offshore energy customers, provides medevac and fixed-wing transport, and operates in 15 countries and territories, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, the UK and the U.S. Today the company's shares have moved 0.96% to a price of $46.30.
