Joins An AW109 Already In Service With The Department
The Police of the Province of Guangxi in China has placed an
order for an AW139 medium twin helicopter, AgustaWestland announced
Tuesday. This aircraft will be used to perform a number of roles
also including law enforcement and civil protection/disaster relief
across the Province. The AW139 adds to the AW109 Power light twin
helicopter recently delivered to the Nanning Public Security Bureau
further strengthening the operational capabilities in the area as
well as in Nanning, the capital of Guangxi
Province.
This new contract is part of a helicopter fleet modernization
and expansion program which will include further units to even
better serve the local community. This is the third AW139 ordered
in China for law enforcement duties following the one purchased by
the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau and the one ordered by
the Shenzhen Public Security Bureau.
"It gives us great pleasure to add another important customer to
the growing list of law enforcement operators who have chosen and
are using our helicopters in China to provide the best levels of
service to their communities," said Giuseppe Orsi, Chief Executive
Officer, AgustaWestland. "We are committed to further expanding our
presence in the country in the future as the national low-altitude
airspace is envisaged to be progressively opened allowing a
significant increase of use and exploitation of helicopters'
capabilities."
