Sky Shuttle Helicopters Flies 60+ Missions Per Day
AgustaWestland announced Tuesday the delivery of its 200th AW139
medium-twin helicopter, one of two aircraft accepted by Cheyenne
Chan, CEO of Sky Shuttle Helicopters Limited during a ceremony held
at AgustaWestland’s Vergiate facility in Italy.
The helicopters will be used by Sky Shuttle Helicopters Limited,
previously known as Heli Express, to provide helicopter shuttle
flights between Hong Kong, Macau and Shenzhen. These are the first
two of a six aircraft order placed by Sky Shuttle Helicopters in
June 2007.
"It gives us great pleasure to be handing over the 200th AW139
to Sky Shuttle Helicopters Limited, an operator with a worldwide
reputation for excellence," said Renzo Lunardi, Senior Vice
President Commercial Business Unit, AgustaWestland. "The tremendous
success of the AW139 worldwide has made it the helicopter of choice
for a wide range number of applications including commercial
passenger transport and we are sure Sky Shuttle Helicopters’
customers will appreciate its class leading speed and passenger
comfort."
Sky Shuttle Helicopters is the sole commercial helicopter
operator between Hong Kong, Macau and Shenzhen and has more than 20
years operating experience. Today, Sky Shuttle Helicopters operates
more than 60 helicopter flights per day, transporting more
passengers than any other operator in the region.
AgustaWestland says delivery of the 200th AW139 represents
a significant achievement, occurring just over four years after the
delivery of the first helicopter of this type and just 18 months
after the delivery of the 100th AW139 in June 2007.
