Specialist Aviation Services (SAS) says it has signed a framework agreement with Leonardo Helicopters for six additional AgustaWestland AW169s to support the rapidly growing offshore wind farm market.
According to SAS, the aircraft are expected to be delivered between 2017 and 2019 and will be used to expand SAS emergency services operations across the U.K.
The company notes that this latest agreement will bring the total number of AW169s operated and maintained by SAS to over 12 aircraft.
SAS and Leonardo Helicopters signed the agreement at the Helitech International 2016 show in Amsterdam.
