Will Deliver Customer Support For Critical EMS Services
Specialist Aviation Services (SAS) of the UK will be appointed as an Authorized Service Center for the new generation AW169 light intermediate helicopter in UK.
The company will ensure a range of support and maintenance services are supplied for the new model, following the selection of SAS by prime HEMS customers of the type in UK who will start introducing the new helicopter into service at the end of 2015.
SAS, who signed a contract for a total of six AW169 helicopters in 2012, has already been selected by two UK HEMS customers to operate their emergency medical service-configured AW169s with more allocations pending.
“We are very proud to be selected for this appointment and are already fully engaged in preparing for the introduction of the aircraft into the SAS fleet later this year," said Group Managing Director, Henk Schaeken. "We are busy training our engineers and pilots as well as making changes at our bases to manage the new inventory and tooling required for us to provide the same high level of aircraft availability and support which our customers have come to expect from us.”
SAS chose the AW169 as it offers the best capabilities and performance in its class with potential to greatly enhance the operations of SAS’ customers. Outstanding performance, inherent safety features, payload, cabin size and design, and its many advanced features are among the characteristics recognized by operators who have already selected the AW169 in UK. Initial orders logged in this market so far will be used for EMS and executive/private transport missions.
