Because it is our biggest aircraft, the AW139 suits principals, families and groups of clients who want a large cabin and a calm, polished interior. The seats are cream leather and the trim is polished wood. Boarding is by a fold-down airstair, and the helicopter carries eight passengers with no extra rows squeezed in.
Typical uses for AW139 helicopter charter include VVIP and principal travel, country-house and estate transfers, corporate hospitality, race days, weddings and events.
