LCI Helicopter signs AW139 lease with Avincis

Lease Corporation International (LCI), the aviation division of Libra Group, has entered into a long-term lease with the Avincis Group, a leading provider of mission critical services, for a new AW139 helicopter. LCI’s new helicopter division was launched at Heli-Expo 2012 with a $400m order for a modern, versatile fleet of market-leading AgustaWestland AW139, AW169 and AW189 helicopters. The new agreement with Avincis will secure a helicopter for its Aberdeen-based subsidiary Bond Offshore Helicopters to provide offshore crew change support to a new oil and gas customer in the UK North Sea.
