Aircraft Produced At AW's Philadelphia Facility

Life Flight Network, based in the Pacific northwest, has taken delivery of its 15th AW119Kx. The aircraft was built in and delivered from AgustaWestland's Philadelphia facility. 

The AgustaWestland engineering and production teams integrated the Garmin G1000HTM flight deck system into the AW119 platform, certifying the new avionics suite, and delivering 15 helicopters to launch customer Life Flight Network in less than two years. The new avionics system includes a synthetic vision system, moving map, highway in the sky and obstacle/terrain avoidance systems for enhanced situational awareness and safety.

Nearly 240 AW119 helicopters have been ordered to date in more than 30 countries by over 100 customers. The new AW119Kx, like the AW119Ke, is designed to perform many roles including EMS, VIP/corporate transport, utility, fire-fighting, offshore transport, law enforcement and government duties.

Life Flight Network provides air and ground critical care transportation for seriously ill or injured patients from the scene of an illness or accident or from one hospital to another. The company is known for quality medical care, a commitment to strong relationships with area EMS and hospitals, and an overall dedication to excellence.
