SFS Aviation currently operate a fleet of four AgustaWestland AW139 helicopters. With the first two purchased in 2011 – one new and one pre-owned – the Thai operator has purchased one new aircraft in each of 2012 and 2013. The trend is set to continue with a further example to be added in 2014.  No press release has been issued by the operator, manufacturer or any leasing company involved, though.

HeliHub.com sources have been keeping an eye on test flight movements at AgustaWestland’s facility at Philadelphia and noted that serial 41359 – carrying registration N467SH during testing – is in the full colours of SFS Aviation and we would expect it to join their offshore fleet at their Songkhla base in the next 2-3 months, likely under the local registration HS-SFL
