LCI takes off with Bond offshore Helicopters

Lease Corporation International’s (LCI) helicopter division took off with its first delivery of a new AW139 helicopter to Bond Offshore Helicopters (Bond) in Aberdeen, Scotland. The delivery follows the agreement of a long term lease between LCI and Bond’s parent company Avincis Group – a leading global provider of mission critical services. The 15-seat, twin-engined helicopter will be operated by Bond to provide offshore crew change support. The delivery marks the first aircraft service entry for LCI’s new helicopter division, which was launched in 2012 with a $400m order for a mixed fleet of AgustaWestland AW139, AW169 and AW189 helicopters.
