The AW189 is similarly priced, based on recent contract announcements (IRO €12.2M baseline, €15M equipped). AW's pricing is traditionally very competitive, with the AW139 baselined over $1M
below the smaller S-76D.

Thanks (again), I/C.
I thought that the AW189 might have been considerably cheaper to purchase than the EC175. This might have (partly) explained why it is currently outselling it 2 to 1.
But it's not. So, there must be something else that explains why the industry is tending to choose Italian over French in this case...
