Leonardo Logs Helicopter Orders at European Rotors
New orders placed for AW189, AW169, and AW09 models
Omni Helicopter International operates Leonardo AW189s
Brazilian operator Omni Helicopters International is increasing its AW189 fleet with three new orders for Italian manufacturer Leonardo.

Brazilian operator Omni Helicopters International (OHI) is growing its fleet with an order for a pair of Leonardo AW189 helicopters and one AW189K. The deal announced on Tuesday was one of several announced by the Italian aircraft manufacturer at European Rotors this week in Madrid, with OHI adding to the eight AW139s and two AW189s it received since 2021.

The AW189K is powered by a pair of Safran’s latest Aneto-1K turboshaft engines and will be the first of its type to operate in Latin America. The standard AW189 super medium aircraft uses General Electric’s CT7-2E1 engines. Both models feature a Safran auxiliary power unit and the main transmission can operate without oil for 50 minutes.
