AgustaWestland has delivered three AW139 helicopters in November to two new Chinese customers.

Two of the intermediate twin-engined types were handed over to an undisclosed owner - one in VIP configuration and the other in a mixed VIP-utility layout with a forward-looking, infrared camera and rescue hoist.
