Four Additional Aircraft Ordered For Offshore
Transport
Bristow Group has placed an order for four AW139 medium-twin
helicopters to be used to perform offshore transport missions,
AgustaWestland announced this week at Heli-Expo in Houston. The new
helicopter will join three aircraft already delivered
Emilio Dalmasso, Senior Vice President Commercial Business Unit,
AgustaWestland said "We are pleased to have signed this contract
that further expands the AW139 fleet of one of the world's largest
providers of helicopter services. This order confirms customer's
reliance on the best selling medium- twin helicopter for offshore
transport purposes and provides clear evidence the AW139 is proving
a tremendous addition to maximize operational effectiveness".
Mark Duncan, Senior Vice President-Commercial, Bristow commented
"Bristow has several commercial opportunities that either specify
AW139 or that suit its superior performance capabilities. Our first
AW139 is already on contract flying in the Gulf of
Mexico."
Two Pratt & Whitney Canada
PT6C-67C engines with FADEC deliver a high power-to-weight ratio
maximizing safety in demanding operational conditions. With its
power reserve, the AW139 assures Category A (Class 1) performance
from a helipad (elevated or at ground level) at maximum take-off
weight with engine-out capability. The standard configuration
provides seating for twelve or fifteen passengers. Energy-absorbing
landing gear, fuselage and seats as well as high main and tail
rotor ground clearance provide added safety for the passengers and
maintenance teams while on the ground. AgustaWestland says over 120
customers from almost 50 countries have ordered almost 450
helicopters to perform a wide range of roles, including offshore
transport, EMS/SAR, VIP/corporate transport, law enforcement,
utility and government missions.
