Australian operators have ordered six AW139s from Leonardo for helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) as well as search and rescue (SAR) missions. The order was announced at Australia’s ongoing aviation show Avalon 2023.
The aircraft, which has brought Australia’s AW139 fleet to over 60, will be delivered in 2024 to operators including Babcock, CQ Rescue and StarFlight Australia.
