Bel Air signs contract for two AW189 helicopters

December 15, 2011

Bel Air is proud to announce the signing of a contract for the acquisition of two AW189 helicopters. This strategic investment marks an important milestone in our continued growth and commitment to serving the offshore sector.

The new helicopters are expected to be deployed for offshore operations in the North Sea. This order reflects our confidence in AgustaWestland as a trusted partner, and in the capabilities and cost-efficiency we anticipate from the AW189—AgustaWestland’s latest addition to its next-generation helicopter lineup.

As a complement to our existing AW139 fleet, the larger AW189 helicopters will significantly enhance the range of mission profiles Bel Air can offer to our offshore clients. A key factor in our decision has been the AW189’s compliance with the most advanced safety standards, ensuring we continue to provide the highest level of safety and reliability in our operations.
