ASG Helicopter Services introduces the first Leonardo AW189 helicopter of a new type, delivered in a specialized configuration designed for flight missions to offshore oil and gas platforms.

Home \ News \ ASG Helicopter Services introduces the first Leonardo AW189 helicopter of a new type, delivered in a specialized configuration designed for flight missions to offshore oil and gas platforms.

ASG Helicopter Services, one of the most modern and technically advanced helicopter operators in the Caspian Sea region, announces another significant milestone in the development of Azerbaijan’s light aviation — the presentation of the first AW189 helicopter in a new offshore configuration (operations over water). This event marks an important step in expanding the company’s aircraft fleet and confirms its commitment to supporting offshore oil and gas operations through the use of advanced international aviation technologies.

At a time when aviation safety requirements are constantly evolving, especially for specialized operations such as flights to offshore drilling platforms, the Leonardo AW189 helicopter is regarded as one of the most suitable aircraft for these missions. It is a modern twin-engine “super-medium” class helicopter, optimized for long-range overwater transportation, search and rescue (SAR) missions, and a wide range of tasks in the energy sector. Thanks to its advanced avionics, spacious cabin, and high operational reliability, the AW189 significantly enhances ASG Helicopter Services’ ability to safely and efficiently support offshore drilling rigs, platforms, and remote energy facilities.

“Next-generation helicopters represent a significant new era for ASG Helicopter Services. The integration of the AW189 helicopter into our offshore operations strengthens our capability to meet the evolving needs of customers in the oil, gas, and energy sectors, while ensuring the highest standards of safety, reliability, and operational efficiency,” said Azer Sultanov, Head of the Company.

For Azerbaijan, the AW189 is a new aircraft type that has successfully completed all required procedures for the commencement of operations and has received both registration and airworthiness certificates from the local aviation authorities. It complements the diverse existing fleet of ASG Helicopter Services, which includes the Sikorsky S-92A and other already-operated Leonardo family aircraft such as the AW139 and AW109, reflecting the company’s ongoing strategy to invest in advanced technologies and world-class aircraft capable of performing complex missions both onshore and offshore.

Key advantages of the AW189 in offshore configuration include:

  • Seating capacity for up to 16 passengers and two crew members;
  • Enhanced offshore capabilities, specifically equipped for long-range transport, SAR support, and energy sector operations;
  • Passenger and cargo flexibility, with a spacious cabin suitable for transporting personnel and critical equipment;
  • Advanced safety systems, featuring modern avionics and technologies designed to meet stringent international standards in challenging offshore environments.

ASG Helicopter Services continues to pursue excellence by combining fleet modernization with international aviation safety practices and customer expectations. The introduction of the AW189 strengthens the company’s position and enables the expansion of its service portfolio in the Caspian Sea region, with potential growth into other regional and global markets in the future.

Over the years, the company has become a well-recognized player in the helicopter services market. It holds an international Part-145 certificate issued by European aviation authorities and has been recognized by Leonardo—the leading European helicopter manufacturer (formerly AgustaWestland)—as a Certified Service Center for AW139, AW109, and the new AW189 helicopter types. This status allows ASG Helicopter Services to provide technical support and maintenance not only for its own fleet, but also for any international operators of these aircraft types.

Today, the company employs more than 500 staff members. Its technical and flight personnel have undergone specialized training and regularly update their skills and knowledge at international training centers, maintaining a high level of professional expertise in the aviation industry.
