Second AW169 for KSSAAT
The UK’s Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance Trust (KSSAAT) has accepted its second AW169 helicopter from Leonardo
The UK’s Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance Trust (KSSAAT) has accepted its second AW169 helicopter from Leonardo. The medical interior will be installed by Specialist Aviation Services, which will also operate the aircraft on behalf of the Trust. The helicopter will enter service in the second quarter of this year.
Adrian Bell, CEO of KSAAT, said of the AW169: “Our first aircraft has amply demonstrated the capability shift that KSSAAT has been seeking in terms of patient care with its extra performance and specially designed medical cabin. So we are delighted to extend this capability across the rest of our operation with a second AW169.”
Henk Schaeken, Managing Director of Specialist Aviation Services, commented: “We are very grateful for the trust which KSSAAT has placed in both SAS and Leonardo by being our UK launch customer, and we are immensely proud to have that reinforced with the delivery of their second aircraft.”
