Milestone Aviation delivers two AW169s to Sloane Helicopters

The first helicopter, a new AW169, was delivered in December 2021.

Sloane will operate the helicopters on behalf of the Children’s Air Ambulance UK, an inter-hospital transfer service that flies critically ill children to receive lifesaving treatment. The two aircraft are part of the charity’s fleet renewal program.

The aircraft are fitted with specialist clinical interiors, equipped to fly clinical teams and critically ill children to hospital. The aircraft will operate from bases in the North and South of England.

Pat Sheedy, President and CEO of Milestone, commented: “The Milestone and Sloane technical teams worked closely together to create a bespoke solution for the charity, ensuring that the aircraft are capable of delivering lifesaving care to patients.”

Jeremy Awenat, Managing Director of Sloane Helicopters, added: “We are pleased to be growing our EMS helicopter fleet to include these two AW169 helicopters. The lease of these helicopters further strengthens our established and growing relationship with Milestone.”
