The 4.5 tonne class AW169 and 8 tonne class AW189 are developed from the globally successful, class-leading 6.5 tonne AW139 - each exceeding the latest, most stringent safety standards. A unique proposition among rotorcraft manufacturers, the multi-role AW Family serves a wide range of missions, minimises operating costs and enhances operational flexibility thanks to commonalities in maintenance: common parts up to 20%, common tools and ground support equipment up to 30% and 40% reduction in training time.

Speaking on behalf of CareFlite, President and CEO James Swartz stated “This latest contract further confirms the reliance CareFlite, as a leading US air medical operator servicing a major metropolitan area, places upon the exceptional performance, operational economies, support and EMS capabilities of the AW109 Power. AgustaWestland’s AW109 meets and exceeds our load and range requirements while adding superior single engine performance. Its unequalled maximum and cruise speed facilitates an expeditious response to CareFlite’s medical emergencies when seconds are critical.” (Above L to R) Eric Crawford – Agusta Westland Account Executive, James C.
