We are delighted to announce that LCI has delivered two new Leonardo AW139 helicopters bearing dramatic liveries to Babcock Australia & New Zealand for emergency medical services (EMS) operations across the Torres Strait and the Northern Peninsula of Queensland, Australia.   The overall design of the liveries, created by accomplished Torres Strait Island artist, Alick Tipoti, are known as ‘Kuyupaw Yabu’. This translates to the flight path of the dragonfly, and the liveries incorporate elements such as migrating birds, sea spirits, reefs and lagoons.   The helicopters have been placed in LCI’s joint venture with Sumitomo Mitsui Finance and Leasing Company, Limited: SMFL LCI Helicopters Limited, and will be based at Horn Island and support Babcock’s operations for the Queensland Government. This includes the delivery of 24/7 EMS and search and rescue (SAR) services across the Torres Strait.   Nigel Leishman, Chief Commercial Officer of LCI, says: “We are delighted to be providing two new AW139 helicopters, equipped with latest equipment for EMS and other mission critical services, to our longstanding partner Babcock. These state-of-the-art helicopters will improve the speed, range and capability of its operations in Queensland.”   “The striking liveries will boost the visibility of emergency operations across remote communities in the Torres Strait and Northern Peninsula, and we are proud to have co-sponsored the artwork alongside Babcock and Leonardo.”   For more information, read: https://bit.ly/4cRFBFD
