Will Enter Service Providing Offshore Passenger Transportation

Indonesian charter company Travira Air will soon take delivery of two AW139 twin intermediate helicopters. The helicopters will soon enter service for offshore passenger transport operations in Indonesia.

“These helicopters will soon enter service with Travira Air (which) has a long and successful history of providing onshore and offshore helicopter services to its many clients in Indonesia," said Vincenzo Alaimo, Head of Regional Sales SE Asia, AgustaWestland. "The AW139 provides the latest safety features, unrivalled performance and exceptional comfort which will be greatly appreciated by all those that fly in the aircraft.”

The AW139 has achieved great success in South East Asia in recent years with orders placed by local operators for offshore, corporate, firefighting, EMS/SAR and coastal patrol missions. State-of-the-art technology, outstanding performance, low operating costs and the only helicopter in its class to meet the latest safety standards, have made the AW139 the helicopter of choice in the medium twin market. With its power reserve, the AW139 delivers Category A (Class 1) performance from a helipad (elevated or at ground level) at maximum take-off weight with an unmatched one engine inoperative capability.
 
The AW139 can carry up to 15 passengers in its spacious cabin. Over 750 AW139s have now been ordered by customers with more than 620 now in service.
