These orders mark the continuing growth of AgustaWestland helicopters in the region, whose growing fleet will be soon supported by a brand new Authorized Service Centre. This approach will soon bring AgustaWestland services even closer to the numerous customers who will benefit from its maintenance and spare facilities.

The AW139 is a new generation intermediate twin-turbine helicopter, with orders to date for almost 840 AW139 helicopters which have been placed by over 220 customers from almost 70 countries to carry out a wide range of missions including offshore transport, law enforcement and homeland security duties, EMS/SAR, utility, firefighting, executive/private transport, and other government roles.
