Brazilian operator Omni Helicopters has signed an agreement to lease 11 helicopters from Dublin, Ireland-based leasing company Milestone Aviation. The contract calls for the supply of both AgustaWestland AW-139 medium and Sikorsky S-92A heavy-duty aircraft. The two companies have a long-standing relationship that currently covers the supply of 22 rotary-wing aircraft in total. 

The AW-139 helicopters will be used by the Brazilian company, among the largest rotary-wing transport operators in the Latin American country, on missions in Latin America and Africa. For its part, the Milestone rental company works with several companies that use the aircraft in a variety of operations: off-shore, Search and Rescue (SAR), medical emergency, police surveillance, mining and other utility missions.
