Italian aerospace company Leonardo has confirmed the renewal of its Distributor Agreement with Sloane Helicopters, the company’s regional distributor in the Irish and British markets for the 2022-2024 timeframe. Sloane made a public statement about this development at the Farnborough International Airshow on 19 July.
- The Distributorship Agreement will provide the customers with continued benefits by dramatically reducing delivery times and providing customers with product expertise and a full range of support packages.
- Leonardo and Sloane Helicopters’ long-term partnership broadened as the Distributor Agreement was renewed between both parties.
- The first of seven new helicopters, under this new Distributor Agreement, an AW109 GrandNew, has already been signed for at Farnborough International AirShow 2022.
This new agreement brings the total helicopter orders by Sloane Helicopters in 2022 to seven, all planned to be handed over before the end of 2023 and this obviously exhibits high interest in the UK for the class-driving light twin type. This successful order will strengthen the position of Leonardo in the UK and Ireland helicopter market.
