In February 2005 the United Arab Emirates Air Force awarded Bell/Agusta Aerospace Company a contract for eight AB139 medium-twin helicopters valued about US$83 million. Six aircraft were configured for search and rescue operations, while the remaining two were assigned to VIP transport. The UAE was the third country to choose the AB139 for SAR applications, following previous orders by the governments of Oman and Ireland.
Two AW139 have been provided by Evergreen Helicopters, under contract to UAEAF to provide SAR cover.
