Through these strategic contracts and partnerships, Leonardo continues to demonstrate its dedication to delivering innovative, luxurious, and high-performance helicopter solutions that meet the evolving needs of the Latin American market and beyond.
One of the key developments is the appointment of Gruppomodena S.A. as the official distributor for Leonardo’s helicopter models, which include the AW119Kx, AW109 legacy, AW169, and AW139.
