As part of the ongoing Ebace 2024 show in Geneva, the Italian aerospace company signed two distribution agreements in Europe with Leman Aviation, based in Switzerland and France and with a strong presence in Monte Carlo and the French Riviera, and Sloane, for the United Kingdom and Ireland, a note explains.
Universal Vulkaan Aviation, already Leonardo's distributor for the Indian civil helicopter market since the beginning of the year, has signed preliminary contracts for five AW09s and a contract for three helicopters (one AW109, one AW169, and one AW139) with expected deliveries in 2025 and 2026.
This order is part of a framework agreement to purchase ten helicopters of various types over the next three years.
