Indonesia is proving to be a high-growth market for Leonardo, with a new order from an undisclosed Indonesian customer for two light intermediate AW169 helicopters for corporate transport roles — due to be delivered by the end of 2018.

With the pending delivery of another AW139 to Travira for offshore operations and two AW119Kx models (pictured) to NUH for firefighting and medical-evacuation operations, Leonardo is significantly expanding its presence in Indonesia; this already includes an AW139 operated by Basarnas for SAR missions, along with a mix of single- and twin-engine helicopters for passenger transport (www.leonardocompany.com).

Leonardo is also working with the Indonesian government on several military applications, including defence systems for the Indonesian Navy and space surveillance programmes.
