Héli-Union has taken delivery of its first Leonardo AW139 under lease from Lease Corporation International (LCI). As a helicopter operator that specializes in the support of oil and gas production across five continents, Héli-Union will use the rotorcraft to support its activities in Asia.

“It is fitting that Héli-Union is working on fleet strategy, developing leasing solution for the first time, to take benefit of the growth potential of the Southeast Asian region," said Patrick Molis, Héli-Union president and CEO. "We are delighted to be working with LCI Helicopters, who have been highly responsive and extremely supportive to our requirements. We look forward to futher developing our relationship over the coming years.”

As a major customer for the AW139, LCI (Booth 2620) has taken delivery of 23 rotorcraft of this type. They are all being flown for various missions including emergency medical services, search and rescue and support for offshore oil, gas and wind energy installations.
