Agusta AW139 Helicopter in Canada
Originally built by Agusta / AgustaWestland, now part of Leonardo Helicopters.
Canadian-registered aircraft (C- prefix) operate under Transport Canada certification standards similar to FAA but with specific differences in maintenance, equipment, and operations. Canadian aircraft frequently transact cross-border to US buyers; import process requires FAA airworthiness re-certification and possible equipment changes.
The Agusta (AgustaWestland) AW139 is one of the most successful medium twin-turbine helicopters of its generation — twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6C engines, ~15-seat cabin, ~165 kt cruise, used worldwide in offshore oil & gas, EMS/SAR, VIP and government roles. Modern glass cockpit, strong performance and a large flat-floor cabin made it the medium-twin benchmark. As a medium twin, the AW139 carries significant operating cost — but offshore/SAR/VIP operators value its capacity, performance and redundancy.
