Lease Corporation International (LCI) has grown its Australia-based fleet of helicopters to 14 Leonardo AW139s with the arrival of two aircraft.
The two AW139s are being transitioned by LCI customer, Babcock International Group company, from Aberdeen, United Kingdom to Karratha, Western Australia, where they will be operated by Babcock Australasia, providing offshore transportation for a leading oil and gas producer.
The two helicopters join LCI’s fleet of 12 AW139s already based in Australia, ten of which are used on EMS (emergency medical services) operations.
Six of these aircraft are also operated by Babcock, deployed on behalf of Air Ambulance Victoria providing aero-medical care service in emergencies across the state as well as rapid transport service for patients between major and rural hospitals. Two are used by Babcock Australasia for offshore missions.
