Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of
Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Effective July 30, 2009, Major General Charles F. Bolden, Jr. ("Gen. Bolden") resigned as a director of Bristow Group Inc. (the "Company"). Gen. Bolden had previously notified the Company that he intended to resign his directorship with the Company upon confirmation by the United States Senate of his nomination to serve as National Aeronautics and Space Administration Administrator. Gen. Bolden's resignation did not arise from any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices. The Company has elected not to fill the vacancy created by Gen. Bolden's resignation at this time but has instead elected to reduced the size of its Board of Directors from nine directors to eight directors.
