Leonardo experienced a dip in first-quarter helicopter deliveries from a year ago but still saw increased revenues and earnings with more activity surrounding its dual-use AW families and from customer support, according to the Italian manufacturer.

Releasing its first-quarter results late last week, Leonardo reported 28 helicopter deliveries in the first three months, compared with 31 in the same period last year. In the quarter, the company handed over 13 AW109/AW119 models, two AW169s, 11 AW139s, and one apiece of the AW189 and NH90. A year earlier, the company had handed over three fewer AW139s but four more AW169s and one more AW189. It further had two NH90 deliveries in first-quarter 2024, while the AW109/AW119 total was unchanged.
