Yes as far as i know its only the one AW139 flying at the minute, AW276. Just aswell there's reliable EC135s in the fleet or nothing would be flying.

Heard a second 139 out this morning. AW139 "279" was out flying so thats 2 of 6 airworthy.

Second 139 is indeed back in service. It's the supply of tail rotor blades which is taking so long, with all 139 blades around the globe being replaced. Also shorter blade life is an extra burden
