New AW139s for Babcock
Australian Helicopters, a Babcock International Group company, and a leading company in the Australian aviation emergency service industry has announced an investment in six new AW139s.
Australian Helicopters will purchase the six new helicopters over the next 12 months to support its contract with Ambulance Victoria. Managing Director John Boag, says the investment is the one of the largest they’ve made in equipment to date, with the AW139 an excellent aircraft for primary and secondary emergency medical service (EMS) applications.“The Ambulance Victoria tender Australian Helicopters won last year requires six brand new AW139 helicopters to support the 10 year contract which commences in 2016,” Mr Boag says.
“We pride ourselves on delivering the highest standard of service and place safety and quality as our highest priorities for our clients. “Our first aircraft has arrived in Australia and will be on display at Avalon Airshow next week before completing its EMS configuration and commencing operations later in the year.” - See more at:
