Milestone Aviation and Lufttransport have signed lease agreements for two Leonardo AW139 helicopters.

The helicopters are scheduled for delivery to Norwegian helicopter operator Lufttransport in 2025.

“We are very pleased to welcome Lufttransport as a new customer and to support their growing multi-mission operations,” said Sébastien Moulin, Head of Europe and Americas, Milestone Aviation. “We thank Erlend Olsen and the Lufftransport team for the trust they have placed in Milestone, and we look forward to working together as these aircraft deliver.”

“We are delighted to have signed these agreements with Milestone Aviation for two Leonardo AW139 helicopters,” said Erlend Olsen, CEO of Lufttransport. “The AW139 is an extremely capable aircraft with the highest safety standards and advanced avionics. We thank the Milestone team for their support, and we look forward to a long and successful relationship with them.”

In January 2024, Norwegian energy firm Equinor announced the signing of a five-year contract with Lufttransport to provide search and rescue services to the Troll and Oseberg offshore oil and gas fields from early 2026, using a fleet of two AW139s.
