Bond Aviation Signs for 15 AgustaWestland Helicopters

Bond Aviation Group announced yesterday it has signed “a framework agreement” with AgustaWestland (Booth No. 5602) for the purchase of 10 helicopters, with options for another five.

The agreement includes a mix of AW139, AW169 and AW189 aircraft. It follows a memorandum of understanding signed in September last year to establish a global framework agreement. The agreement covers all the Bond and Inaer companies in order to establish a multi-year contract covering the purchase of aircraft of the three types. The aircraft will be used for offshore oil and gas support and helicopter emergency medical service, as well as support of the emerging offshore wind-farm market.
