Leonardo Helicopters

Yesterday, #LeonardoHelicopters hosted an Offshore Wind Day in #Philadelphia, focusing on the fast-growing U.S. renewable energy market. The event gathered industry leaders and logistics experts from the offshore wind sector to discuss challenges and insights gained since OSW operations began in June 2023. A panel led by Michael Tosi from HeliService USA and Ole-Erik Endrerud from Shoreline Wind engaged attendees in a discussion on improving offshore wind logistics through better integration of vessel and helicopter operations for both nearshore and far-offshore wind farms. The panel highlighted the strategic and proven advantages of using helicopters in O&M throughout the entire wind project’s lifecycle. The event also provided a preview of an upcoming white paper from HeliService USA and Shoreline, offering new strategies and a data-driven approach to enhancing efficiency in offshore wind. As the U.S. renewable energy market expands, events like Leonardo’s Offshore Wind Day are essential for shaping the future of efficient offshore operations. #OffShoreWind

On 7 October, we had the honour of welcoming to our #LeonardoBelgium site in #Liège the Ambassador of Italy in Belgium, Federica Favi, who was accompanied by the Economic and Commercial Counselor Isidoro Nigri. The meeting was an important occasion to discuss #Leonardo’s development opportunities in #Belgium, present Leonardo Helicopters’ maintenance and support capabilities, and highlight Leonardo Cyber & Security’s growing role in #Brussels.

From October 16-18, Leonardo participated in #JapanInternationalAerospace, in #Tokyo, to reaffirm its commitment to partnerships with local operators. During the show, #LeonardoHelicopters and Mitsui Bussan Aerospace, Co., Ltd. celebrated 20 years of successful collaboration in the Japanese helicopter market. This long-standing relationship, which began in 2004, is gradually transforming the Japanese helicopter fleet with the introduction of the latest generation of rotorcraft models. Toho Air Service, Co., Ltd., Mitsui Bussan Aerospace, Co., Ltd., and #Leonardo signed a contract for the delivery of an additional Leonardo #AW139 twin-engine intermediate helicopter for the Tokyo-AI land shuttle service. The aircraft is scheduled for delivery in 2025. Tokyo-based Toho Air, with more than 60 years of experience, operates the commuter helicopter service between the six main islands of Izu. Leonardo and Mitsui Bussan look forward to continuing this successful collaboration by expanding the Japanese fleet, which today comprises more than 80 helicopters in the 5 to 9 tonne weight class serving national, local, and private operators. A further 12 units are already under contract and scheduled for delivery by the end of 2026.

Leonardo is looking forward to participating in Global Defence Helicopter 2024 in Warsaw, Poland next week (22-24 October). As a global leader in the design, manufacturing and maintenance of helicopters, we will be sponsoring, exhibiting and presenting at the event, showcasing our full spectrum of capability. https://lnkd.in/eUH9Ht-c #GlobalDefenceHelicopter
