Deliveries will start in late 2013 with the aircraft being used to provide air medical transport in Minnesota and surrounding locations. 

The helicopter will be used to perform VIP transport missions in the United Kingdom. The order underlines the growing success of the AW169 in the UK and worldwide for corporate and VIP transport, air ambulance, law enforcement and utility missions.

This contract confirms and increases Era's commitment to the AW189 following the signing of a preliminary sales contract for five aircraft in July 2012. The aircraft will be used to perform long range offshore oil and gas transport missions.
