Will Fly Offshore Oil Transport Missions
The Bristow Group has taken delivery of two AW139 medium
twin-engine helicopters during an official ceremony held Tuesday at
AgustaWestland's Philadelphia facility, the helicopter manufacturer
announced Wednesday. These aircraft will be used to perform
offshore transport missions, reinforcing the continued success of
the AW139 in the oil & gas industry.
Emilio Dalmasso, Senior Vice President Commercial Business Unit,
AgustaWestland said, "We are proud to deliver these two AW139
aircraft to Bristow Group, one of the world's largest providers of
helicopter services. The AW139 is the best helicopter in its class
for offshore transport and we are certain they will be a tremendous
addition to the Bristow fleet."
The AW139 is a new generation medium twin-engine helicopter
offering unmatched performance, capacity and safety. It meets the
most stringent civil and government certification standards,
including the FAA and JAA FAR/JAR Part 29 requirements. An
ergonomic cockpit, excellent handling characteristics and low
vibration levels significantly reduce pilot fatigue.
