Leonardo Signs First U.S. AW169 EMS, Japanese AW189
The Italian OEM secured several orders for the AW169 and other models recently.

Travis County in Texas plans to add three Leonardo AW169s to the Star Flight EMS program beginning in October next year. The helicopters will be the first EMS-configured AW169s to enter service in the U.S. The AW169s will also be used to support the county's search-and-rescue, fire-suppression and law-enforcement missions in the area surrounding Austin, Texas.
