Utility aircraft operator Avincis has ordered up to 30 helicopters to support existing customers and long-term growth, including up to 15 from Airbus Helicopters and 15 from Leonardo. Plans call for deploying the new helicopters for search and rescue, helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS), and offshore energy support. Deliveries of these helicopters are expected from 2028 to 2031.

The order from Leonardo includes 10 AW169 light intermediate and five AW139 intermediate twins. Avincis plans to send three AW169s to Sweden for HEMS operations to fulfill a 10-year contract covering the Uppsala and Västra Götalandsregionen regions. One AW169 will be located in each region, and the third will serve as a shared backup helicopter.
