Anduki Airfield

Anduki Airfield is an airport in Seria, a town in Belait District of Brunei. It is operated by Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP), which uses Sikorsky S-92 and AgustaWestland AW139 helicopters in support of offshore oil platforms. The company replaced the grass airstrip with a sealed instrument runway in 2008. Future upgrades include the addition of runway lighting and an enhanced instrument approach procedure.
History.
The airport was opened in 1951, when a Supermarine Sea Otter owned by British Malaysian Petroleum was the first airplane to land at the Anduki Aerodrome in 1949.
In 1955, Malaysian Airways used de Havilland Dragon Rapide to charter from Brunei Town, "Anduki Airfield", Miri and Labuan. Moreover, the first BSP helicopter (Sikorsky S-55) loaned from Worldwide Helicopters, came into service.
In 1964, the Sikorsky S-61N came into service together as "BSP Aviation Services Department" (SAV) formed.
Few years later in 1966, "SAV" purchased 3 more S-61Ns.
Sikorsky S-92 was introduced in 2005 to replace older aircraft.
On 14 May 2013, Sikorsky Aerospace Services announced plans for the conversion of "BSP"'s S-92 into Search and Rescue modifications. On the 17 June of the same year, 2 AugustaWestland AW139 were delivered to "BSP" after the contract were awarded 6 months ago.
On 18 April 2017, Sikorsky recognized "BSP" for 50 years of service since the mid-1950s with 5 Sikorsky S-55, in which is the first product from the company to be used.
On 27 May 2019, a milestone was set by Siti Saffawana for being the first Bruneian Commander of the "BSP Search and Rescue Department".
