Now in its 10th year as a rotary operator, the addition of the 2025-built AW139 marks one of the most substantial fleet milestones in the company’s history. Operating exclusively for charter through Saxon Air, elevating the operator’s heavy twin capability and strengthens its position as a leading end-to-end helicopter solutions provider in the UK.
Widely regarded as the flagship of the global medium twin market, the AW139 sets the benchmark for performance, range and versatility. With increased payload capacity, extended endurance and a refined seven-seat executive configuration, G-MCFC enables Saxon Air to support more complex, higher-capacity and longer-range charter missions than ever before.
The aircraft’s performance allows for seamless international operations, including direct routes to Paris and key European destinations, significantly enhancing Saxon Air’s cross-border charter capability.
Bringing an aircraft of this scale and capability onto the Air Operator Certificate (AOC) follows months of detailed operational planning, regulatory preparation and infrastructure alignment, reflecting a substantial investment in both capability and long-term growth.
Configured for executive charter yet built on a platform trusted globally for demanding commercial and offshore missions, the AW139 combines comfort with operational robustness. Its versatility enables Saxon Air to deliver everything from high-level executive transport and time-critical itineraries to multisector European schedules - all while maintaining the safety, discretion and service standards the company is known for.
Head of Rotary Sales, Miles Riches, commented: “The introduction of the Agusta AW139 to our managed fleet marks a defining milestone for Saxon Air. Bringing an aircraft of this size and capability onto our AOC demonstrates both the scale of our ambition and our continued commitment to investing in the very best for our clients.
