The Grand, developed to meet a wide range of market requirements, provides levels of cabin space and payload that until now could only be met by larger, more expensive helicopters. Over 160 orders have been placed to date for this successful intermediate size helicopter with light twin economics. The AW139 since its introduction has been the best selling medium twin in the world. The AW139 sets a new standard in its category and is now the aircraft of choice for many applications including EMS/SAR, offshore transport, VIP/Corporate, Law Enforcement and Governmental purposes. Sales of the AW139 have now exceeded 260, with aircraft in service in North and South America, Europe, Asia, Middle East and Africa.
