Leonardo delivered its 1,000th AW139 helicopter
The event represents a historic achievement: the AW139 is the most important helicopter program in the last 15 years at an international level
and it is also able to set a production record in the Italian aviation industry’s outlook
The 1,000th machine of this model was delivered to Italy’s Guardia di Finanza during an official celebration which was held at Leonardo’s plant in Vergiate (Varese – Italy)
in the presence of institutional representatives
as well as the company’s top management and employees
The AW139’s first flight dates back to the beginning of 2001
The helicopter boasts orders of over 1,100 units from more than 280 customers in over 70 countries on all continents
The aircraft has shown extraordinary levels of reliability and operational capabilities with almost 2.5 million flight hours recorded since the first delivery took place at the beginning of 2004
Data of use testify the extreme versatility of the AW139 which satisfies any market need: more than 30 percent for public utility tasks such as search and rescue and air ambulance
disaster relief; over 30 percent for offshore transport; around 20 percent for military tasks; the rest account for VIP
institutional and corporate transport missions
Leonardo’s CEO, Alessandro Profumo
said: “What we celebrate today is much more than the success of a product or of a company
It is the global affirmation of an asset of our entire country
knowledge and professional skills present at Leonardo and to our products
our host of technologies and history of flight innovation – these all form important pillars of our industrial capabilities
The AW139 is a striking example of the role that Leonardo plays and intends to continue to have in the world
All our values are reflected in the AW139: continuous innovation
proximity to the market and to the customer
and the enhancement of human resources.”
Leonardo Helicopters’ managing director, Gian Piero Cutillo
added: “With the AW139 the company has been able to create an extraordinary program with international roots and with its global success this has allowed us to reach the top of the industry’s world helicopter market
the preparation and the passion of workers from different generations and nationalities who believed in and worked on its development
and who still follow it in its operational path by constantly confronting the market and customers
all this would not have been possible.”
The AW139 fleet has a global presence: around 30 percent in Europe
The international success of the AW139 is so important that to meet market demands the helicopter is produced on different assembly lines both in Italy
along with Leonardo’s other new generation models
has played a significant role in the evolution of the market
These aircraft have contributed to the company taking a 40 percent share of the world’s civil sector in terms of value in 2018
The AW139 has grown significantly in just a few years
adapting to the changing needs of customers
The maximum take-off weight increased from 6.4 to seven tons
Almost 1,000 mission kits and equipment have been certified
With advanced protection systems against icing
the AW139 can fly in all weather conditions
This model is also the only one in the world capable of continuing to fly for over 60 minutes without oil in the transmission
twice as much as the 30 minutes set by the certification authorities
Despite the experience and maturity achieved in 15 years of operational activity
the AW139 remains a young and modern program
destined to play a leading role into the future
The AW139 represents a turning point in the rotary-wing sector through the introductory concept of the Leonardo “helicopter family.” The AW139 is
the forefather of a helicopter family comprising of the smaller and lighter AW169 and the larger and heavier AW189
the same flight characteristics and the same certification standards
as well as the same approach to maintenance and training
A concept that allows operators with large diversified fleets
with models ranging from four to nine tons of weight
to create significant synergies in crew training

has shown strong commitment to Poland through strategic partnerships and investments to the country’s defence capabilities
further confirmed with the latest key milestone achieved today
the Polish company fully-owned by Leonardo
celebrated the opening of the production line for the AW149 helicopters of the Polish Armed Forces and launch of the new
localised manufacturing activities fulfilling its commitment to the new helicopter programme
The company’s dedication to technology transfer and local production has contributed to growth in the country’s skills base and this has enabled new technologies to be delivered quickly to the customer
ensuring the Polish Armed Forces are equipped to meet challenges in the battlespace with the latest-generation multirole AW149 military helicopter
The official opening ceremony took place in the presence of representatives and dignitaries from national and local institutions
This achievement marks a new technological era for both PZL-Świdnik plants along with the national supply chain and military service
PZL-Świdnik leverages unique industrial advantages in terms of speed of deliveries and flexibility to meet challenging deadlines and emergency requirements considering the geopolitical scenario
The very first AW149s were produced in Vergiate (Italy)
where Polish workers took on-job training and secured timely deliveries within a tight time schedule
handing over helicopters 15 months since contract signing
The majority of the Polish Armed Forces’ AW149 will be produced in Poland
The Polish MoD’s AW149 programme is based on localised production through PZL-Świdnik
which is a strategic decision of Poland to secure both national security and key industrial benefits
The contract for 32 AW149s was signed in Świdnik in 2022 and also covers the integration of the helicopter’s systems
future modernisations and technical support through the entire life cycle of the Polish AW149 fleet
Thanks to local production Poland gains a domestic logistics base and technical facilities located close to the Polish Land Forces
in addition to state-of-the-art helicopters
said: “PZL-Świdnik is an example of the highest level of excellence within our organisation
obtaining very good results in all areas and has great potential for further development
there are growing requirements for our company based in Świdnik to continue to evolve from a manufacturer to a key market player that manages complex contracts and deliveries
The Polish MoD programme of AW149 is a clear example of this today
“The localisation of industrial and logistical capabilities for these new helicopters to meet Poland’s needs
leverage the long established and unique capabilities of PZL-Świdnik and its professional skills combined with the outstanding operational capabilities of the AW149s will deliver unparalleled advantages to the country.”
President of PZL-Świdniksaid: “The past year was a period of multi-million investments
specifically in the building where full production of the AW149 is now located
we start new era for Świdnik plants – this was clear to me from very beginning when I was appointed CEO of PZL-Świdnik – we have needed a new most modern helicopter production line to develop our expertise
which must come with state-of-the-art technology transfer
This also meets the Armed Forces’ high-end needs and those helicopters will provide them the best-in-class combat support
This is what the platform has been designed for.”
The new production line is an accelerator of change as it was when PZL-Świdnik became a centre of excellence for helicopter aerostructure and contributed to the launch of the AW139 programme several years ago
the revenues of PZL-Świdnik have more than quadrupled
generating greater export sales and an expanding technological and product base
The Świdnik based business has grown significantly over the year
leveraging technological and capability investments guaranteed by Leonardo to become a solid player in the competitive market
at PZL-Świdnik a total of 3,240 employees (20% of which are engineers) are devoted to serve its customers

2025 in Milan ’s Palazzo Reale in the Sala delle Cariatidi curated by Chiara Gatti and Roberta Cerini Baj
The exhibition celebrates Enrico Baj (Milan
one of the masters of the Italian and international neo-avant-garde
with a star retrospective of the autumn exhibitions
designed to cover all the themes and subjects of his long and multifaceted experience
Baj returns exactly 100 years after his birth and 12 years after the exhibition
in the same room as I Funerali dell’anarchico Pinelli.Promoted by Comune di Milano-Cultura and produced by Palazzo Reale with Electa
the project has nearly fifty works distilled in a time span from the early 1950s to the 2000s
traversing the artist’s phases of adherence to different movements over time: from Dadaism and Surrealism toInformal art
from his closeness to the Nordic Co.Br.A group to the genesis of the Nuclear art movement
which Baj founded in Milan with Sergio Dangelo in 1951
Starting from the gestural abstraction of his early days
passing through the birth of his larval anthropomorphic figures and the eruption of liquefied mountains into the magmatic body of the Generals
we touch on the parody of extraterrestrial invasions to arrive at the Meccano army and the animated world of chests of drawers and trumeaus
ZDA Zanetti Design Architettura with the technical sponsorship of UniFor for the fittings
is designed to harmonize the artist’s works and the evocative historical context of one of the Palace’s best-known rooms: with a play of mirrors enhanced by the colors and the mirrors themselves made by the master
takes place in the space with site-specific solutions
as in the case of the three hundred silhouettes of theApocalypse or the eight sculptures from the Meccano series
Welcoming visitors to the Hall of the Skylight is the scenographic reconstruction of theApocalypse
an assemblage of imaginary and dreamlike figures in a polyptych of nearly 100 square meters
ideally inspired by Michelangelo’s Last Judgment
here dotted with clumsy and mocking demons
Following this introduction are Nuclear Works
To mark the centenary of the Milanese artist’s birth
an exhibition dedicated to Baj’s ceramic work throughout its historical and chronological development
Baj chez Baj is open at the Museum of Ceramics in Savona
with a section also at MuDA - Museo Diffuso Albisola in Albissola Marina
in the venues of the Exhibition Center and Casa Museo Jorn
The scientific collaboration between Milan and Savona
between the curators and institutions involved aspires to draw two autonomous but complementary itineraries
capable of paying tribute to Baj’s eclectic genius
in which the two exhibition itineraries unravel among places
an epiphany of intelligence and creativity
Electa also dedicates to Baj a volume of its A-Z series
a series of monographic lemmaries that recounts eclectic figures of the 20th century
