The first flight of the AW169 is an important milestone for the continued enhancement of AgustaWestland’s product range and for the development of its family of new generation helicopters.

The order represents the first sale of GrandNew helicopters to the Japan National Police Agency and is part of their plan to modernise its fleet with a modern high performance helicopter.

The helicopters will perform search and rescue missions.

The cooperation will initially focus on the development of an exclusive AW139 medium twin helicopter VIP exterior and interior design, with the possibility to expand the partnership to include other AgustaWestland commercial helicopter models.
