Among operators placing orders for Leonardo offshore-configured helicopters, Abu Dhabi Aviation (ADA) in the United Arab Emirates expanded its AW139 offshore fleet with an order for six more helicopters.

By early 2020 Indian operator Global Vectra will receive its Mi-171A2. As part of an intergovernmental agreement with Russia, India will be supplied with 200 helicopters, 140 of which will be assembled locally.

GVHL has performed over 220,000 flight hours for more than 3,250,000 passengers; low by commercial standards, but exceptional for heli ops. It is now preparing to introduce an H145 to its relatively young fleet.
