Gulf International Services announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gulf Helicopters, which has 2 AW189 helicopters in off-shore configuration in fleet, has now taken delivery of 2 more AW189 helicopters.

Gulf Helicopters has a total of fifteen AW189s on order and the delivery of the whole batch of aircraft is scheduled to be completed by 2017 , said a bourse statement.

Gulf Helicopters, already a major AW139 operator, becomes the first customer in Middle East to introduce the AgustaWestl and Family concept into operational service.

The AW189 was designed in response to growing market demand for a versatile, affordable, multirole super medium class helicopter. The new 8.3 ton, twin engine helicopter is optimized for long range offshore transport and SAR missions and has already received over 130 orders, including options and framework agreements, in more than 10 countries from 15 customers, making it the outright market leader in its class.
