Leonardo and UK-based company Sloane have signed preliminary sales contracts for nine AW09 single engine helicopters, and new orders for two AW109 Grand New and two AW109 Trekker twin engine aircraft.
“On the back of record AW109 deliveries we are excited to embark on the next step of our journey with Leonardo with the AW09, an all-new airframe which represents a technological leap forward in the single turbine market,” said David George, chairman of Sloane.
As Leonardo’s regional distributor, Sloane has taken delivery of a total 14 AW109s in the 2022 2023 period and plans to receive six more this year. Deliveries of the latest order of four new AW109s are expected to be performed in 2025 and 2026.
