Milestone Aviation has delivered a second Leonardo AW169 to UK-based Sloane Helicopters. Sloane will operate the medium-twin helicopters on behalf of the Children’s Air Ambulance UK, an inter-hospital transfer service that flies critically ill children from bases in the North and South of England. The two aircraft are part of the charity’s fleet renewal program. Its first AW169 was delivered in December.
“The lease of these helicopters further strengthens our established and growing relationship with Milestone," said Sloane managing director Jeremy Awenat. "The AW169 is the benchmark helicopter in its category offering performance, speed, and high safety standards, all of which will contribute to the crucial services provided by the Children’s Air Ambulance UK.”
Milestone supports more than 40 customers in more than 35 countries serving a variety of industries, including offshore oil and gas, search and rescue, emergency medical services, police surveillance, mining, firefighting, and other utility missions.
