Leonardo (Chalet 244, Static B6) expects to receive certification for its AW169M military helicopter in the coming months, ahead of planned deliveries to launch customer the Guardia di Finanza. The Italian law enforcement agency is set to receive 22 examples of the light intermediate rotorcraft under a €280 million contract signed in 2018 and, according to the company, they will complement the agency’s eventual 14-strong fleet of AW139s, covering both land and maritime operations.
