The Leonardo AW189 super-medium helicopter’s success in Northern Europe and in the energy market continues to grow with an order for a further three newly built units to be operated by Norwegian company Lufttransport RW AS to deliver offshore transport services on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).

This contract will bring to twelve the number of AW189s to be operated by Lufttransport, following contract awards in early 2025, respectively by Equinor to operate five aircraft and Vår Energi to fly two. Two more aircraft had already been ordered and are expected to be delivered soon. An established AW139 operator with seven units in service today, Lufttransport is among the large number of operators who have chosen and use the AW189 worldwide for modern, long range, high capacity and cost/effective missions supporting the energy industry. Leonardo’s investments into Norway dating back to 2025, aimed at strengthening localized customer support service and establish an AW189 Full Flight Simulator (FSS) in the country, will be extremely beneficial to make sure Lufttransport’s operations are carried out even more effectively and efficiently.
