Bristow Commits To Being Partner and Customer for AW609 Civil Tiltrotor
The UK-based operator expects to place a double-digit order for the tiltrotor in 2017.

Bristow Group strongly signaled its intention to be a leading customer and operator for AgustaWestland’s AW609 civil tiltrotor. The Houston-based company’s CEO Jonathan Baliff said today at Heli-Expo 2015 that it was “absolutely” committed to ordering the AgustaWestland AW609 civil tiltrotor and said the size of the order “won't be in the single digits. I expect to see this aircraft in five to 10 years as big a part of our fleet as [Sikorsky] S-76s and S-92s.”
