Aero Asahi Corporation, one of Japan’s foremost general aviation service providers, will introduce an AW169 light intermediate twin-engine helicopter featuring a dedicated Agusta configuration into service. This marks Aero Asahi as the first operator in Japan to utilize an exclusive VIP Leonardo helicopter under the Agusta brand.
Aero Asahi has gained extensive familiarity with the outstanding features and capabilities of the modern AW169 helicopter by supporting a dedicated demonstration tour in Japan in 2023. The AW169 offers high performance and advanced flight and navigation capabilities due to its sophisticated avionics and mission systems. It also provides unparalleled comfort and sustainability, featuring a customized interior and an Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) mode that powers all main cabin and cockpit systems on the ground with rotors stopped, in addition to meeting the latest generation safety standards.
