Do Fluxys fly their own helicopters? Pipeline control seems to be often done by independent operators, presumably chartered by the pipeline owners/operators?

confirmed.
"Il s'agit d'un engin de la société Héli and Co, basée à Spa, qui effectuait une mission de surveillance pour le compte de la société Fluxys. Il avait décollé de l'aéroport de Spa."
