Deal Announced At Australian International Airshow
AgustaWestland told ANN Wednesday that Australian operator
Heliflite Pty Ltd signed a contract recently for eight new
helicopters, including the AW119 Ke light single, the A109 Power,
the Grand light twin and the AW139 medium twin. This contract,
signed during the Australian International Airshow, is part of an
existing multi-year contract and distribution agreement between
AgustaWestland and Heliflite.
Based at Bankstown Airport, Heliflite provides complete
helicopter service to customers -- including sales, servicing,
spare parts and pilot training. The company has been a major part
of the Australian helicopter market for 30 years, according to
AgustaWestland representatives.
Heliflite has expanded its helicopter range to include the
single-engine AW119 Ke through to the 6.4 ton 15-seat AW139, which
the company says is the world's best selling medium twin-engine
helicopter on the market. Heliflite is also responsible for selling
and supporting the A109 Power and the recently introduced Grand,
both of which are achieving growing sales success in the light twin
market in Australia and worldwide, according to the company.
Heliflite is the AgustaWestland Authorized Service Centre in
Australia. Heliflite is now expanding its support services for
AgustaWestland helicopter operators in Australia, Papua New Guinea
and New Zealand with the establishment of service centres in
Brisbane, Australia, and in Auckland, New Zealand, which will add
to the existing one located at Bankstone Airport.
