Aw139 cost???

How the operating cost between a S76 and an AW139 could be the same??
We have been using both of them and we can tell you that the downtime on the AW139 is horrible.
We have changed 3 MGB since we operate the AW139, had tons of problems and a lots of difficulties to get parts, it is just reality....

The cost in Moosonee will explode for mostly River ops 5 minutes flight.

And now, we gone spend way more time training than working doing calls.

At the end of the day, going that way, do we still need an Air Ambulance in Ontario?
