About the AW139
The Leonardo AW139 is the reference aircraft of the intermediate twin-engine class and one of the most successful civil helicopters of its generation. Since entering service it has become the default choice for offshore oil-and-gas crew transport, VIP and corporate travel, search-and-rescue and emergency medical services, prized for its large cabin, strong performance and modern glass cockpit.
Powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6C-67C engines, it seats up to fifteen and offers a spacious, stand-out cabin with excellent payload and range for its class, along with full IFR and category-A capability for operations over water and congested areas. It anchors a family that shares a common cockpit philosophy with the lighter AW169 and larger AW189.
The AW139 suits operators who need a proven, large-cabin twin for offshore, SAR, EMS and executive missions with uncompromising redundancy. Those wanting a smaller, more economical airframe look to the AW169; for the core intermediate-twin mission the AW139 sets the standard the segment is measured against.
