AW189 Cleared for Initial Deliveries

摘要

AgustaWestland announced on February 10 that it had received a type certification from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for the AW189 medium helicopter three days earlier. The approval clears the way for the hand-over of the initial pair of aircraft to the Bristow Group, which was originally expected to occur before the end of 2013. The first production aircraft flew on October 10, 2013 (see Production AW189 Flown, November 2013, p4).
