Leonardo inked orders for a dozen helicopters on the opening day of Verticon 2025. The ships will be primarily used for offshore, search-and-rescue, or HEMs missions.

Petroleum Air Services (PAS), which flies helicopters for Egypt’s oil industry, signed for five AW169 light intermediate twin helicopters with skid undercarriages. According to Leonardo, the PAS deal will mark the skidded variant’s entrance into the energy market.
