Leonardo AW139

The Chilean Air Force is embarking on a replacement program for its Bell UH-1H single-turbine helicopters that have been in service for more than 50 years.

Leonardo Helicopters Managing Director Gian Piero Cutillo talks digitalization, supply chains and his vision for the company’s UK operation.

Offshore helicopter industry faces supply chain challenges, strong competition and squeezed pricing from energy companies.

Leonardo executives believe their AW09 single-engine helicopter could achieve similar levels of success as the company’s twin-engine AW139.

Unspecified issues have delayed certification by the FAA of the military-unique features on the derivative of the Leonardo AW-139 civil helicopter.

The U.S. Air Force has named the MH-139A utility helicopter the Grey Wolf.
