Leonardo Helicopters (Chalet P8, Static S18) has taken action to reverse this year’s poor financial performance. “2017 will be the bottom,” recently appointed managing director Gian Piero Cutillo said at the Dubai Airshow 2017. “I expect profits starting next year, so that’s what we say to the financial community. We’re not afraid and concerned about the medium or long term.”
