Farnborough, July (پاکستان پوائنٹ نیوز 21 يوليو 2026ء) A total of 11 AW139 intermediate twin-engine helicopters are scheduled for delivery between 2027 and 2028, under the framework agreement signed between THC and Leonardo at HAI Heli-Expo (now Verticon) in 2024. This additional order represents a key milestone under the multi-year framework, which allowed for the potential acquisition of up to 130 aircraft.
The order of these 11 helicopters reinforces THC’s dual-OEM strategy and disciplined fleet optimization plan, positioning the company to meet Saudi Arabia’s evolving aviation needs.
Commenting on the additional order, CEO of THC Captain Arnaud Martinez said: “We are proud to expand our long-standing partnership with Leonardo, which strengthens our leadership and operational capabilities in the region and beyond. Building on our existing AW139 fleet, which has made THC one of the largest and most recognized operators worldwide, this new order will contribute to our fleet optimization strategy while supporting our plans to grow our global footprint.”
He added that this latest order aligns with THC’s continued expansion, contributing directly to the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 by building a robust and dynamic aviation ecosystem.
