Bristow Certified to Fly AgustaWestland AW189






Bristow, July 17, 2014 - Bristow announced today that it has been certified to fly the much anticipated new generation AgustaWestland AW189 helicopter.

Bristow is the launch customer for the aircraft which has now been fully certified by the UK Civil Aviation Authority.
