AgustaWestland Holds First AW109 LUH/LOH Operators Conference

More Than 40 Operators Got Together To Discuss Helicopter's Operations

Over 40 delegates attended the first AgustaWestland AW109 LUH/LOH Operators Conference recently held at AgustaWestland’s Vergiate plant in Italy. The event brought operators and industry together to discuss the helicopter’s operations in the Far East, Africa, and Europe. Delegates were also given presentations and updates by representatives from engine and avionics suppliers Turbomeca and Thales.

The delegates received briefings by AgustaWestland’s Customer Support, Engineering and  Training Academy organisations and by the main AW109 LUH/LOH programme suppliers and partners. The briefings allowed industry  and operators to share views and information about the aircraft’s operational effectiveness, current and future product improvements and new customer support organisation initiatives that will further enhance the services and response times provided to customers. Briefings were also given on operators "real-life" experiences with the AW109 LUH/LOH in varying operational scenarios including ship board operations.

“This first AW109 LUH/LOH event was of great benefit to all participants, allowing operators and industry to openly share ideas, information and experiences that will allow us to continue to improve the service we provide and for the operators to maximise the capabilities and effectiveness of their aircraft,” said Richard Nevill, AgustaWestland’s Senior Vice President Customer Support, speaking after the conference.

The company said the success of this event has already led to the establishment by attendees of the “AgustaWestland AW109 LUH/LOH User Group” to allow them to continue to exchange information on operational aspects and other areas of common interest.

Operators use their AW109 LUHs in a wide range of environmental conditions from the tropical heat of Malaysia to the extreme cold conditions of Sweden in winter. The aircraft is also used for a wide range of roles including training, troop transport, medical evacuation, search and rescue, maritime patrol, observation, armed escort and anti-armour.
