  • Careflite Orders an Agusta Westland AW109 Power Helicopter
    Date: 3/7/08 CareFlite Dallas/Fort Worth Orders An AgustaWestland AW109 Power Helicopter AgustaWestland is pleased to announce that CareFlite Dallas/Fort Worth has ordered another AW109 Power light twin turbine helicopter. This purchase adds to the five AW109 Powers ordered in 2001 and further expands CareFlite’s fleet dedicated to emergency medical service purposes. 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. Swartz – CareFlite President & CEO, Louis Bartolotta – Agusta Westland’s Executive VP of Sales, Bob Cleland - Agusta Westland’s Director of Sales, photo taken at HAI Convention in Houston, Texas Louis Bartolotta, AgustaWestland’s Executive VP of Sales, stated “This AW109 Power is testimony to both the strong relationship we have had with CareFlite Dallas over the past 7 years and will continue to enjoy into the future, and the high level of critical care services that they will be able to provide the Dallas-Ft. Worth metropolitan area. We remain honoured to assist in the provision of that care.” CareFlite’s AW109 Power is certified for single pilot IFR operations and powered by twin Pratt & Whitney 206C engines.
