Leonardo has delivered the first two of three AW139 intermediate twin-engine helicopters to the Italian National Fire Corps (Vigili del Fuoco, part of the Ministry of the Interior) that were ordered in 2018. The $50.6 million deal includes training and support and options for 12 additional helicopters. The new AW139s are planned to progressively replace the Italian National Fire Corps AB412s. The first two ships will be based at Rome Ciampino for National Fire Corps personnel training.
