Cdre Adams-Aliu said the AW 109 helicopter has a purpose-built VIP configuration with full leather and noise attenuation system.

He added that the helicopter is designed with landing skid which gives it a better loading capacity compared to wheeled helicopters.

“The helicopter is designed with auxiliary tanks which gives it extended endurance of up to 3hrs 40mins.
