This monochromatic AW139 is captured arriving at San Carlos airport. Introduced in 2003, this helicopter was designed and developed jointly by Agusta and Bell Helicopters and originally marketed as the Agusta-Bell AB139, then re-designated AW139 when Bell withdrew from the project. In 2016, AgustaWestland was merged into Leonardo S.p.A. , where it became the company’s helicopter division under the Leonardo Helicopters brand. A commercial success and still in production, more than 1,100 AW139 helicopters have been delivered.
