Leonardo recently welcomed its global AW09 partner network to Vergiate, Italy, for a dedicated programme update focused on preparing the worldwide introduction of its next-generation single-engine helicopter. The event provided an opportunity to share the latest programme developments, showcase customer support solutions and strengthen collaboration across the growing AW09 ecosystem.

Leonardo Helicopters was pleased to welcome Gualter Helicopteros, the distributor for our next-generation single-engine in Brazil.

What better way to mark a new chapter for the AW09 helicopter than hearing directly from the first customer pilot to fly it?

The latest round of flight tests conducted by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency EASA) marks another important milestone in the certification journey of the AW09.

The flight test crew flew non-stop for 4 hours and 50 minutes and enjoyed a stunning view of the Matterhorn.

Leonardo announces the appointment of Michele Riccobono as Chief Executive Officer of Kopter. He succeeds Marco Viola, who will take on a new role within the Leonardo Group outside the Helicopters Division.
