Leonardo's new academy features training services for the AW119, AW169, AW139 models and will be home to the training services for global customers of the first tiltrotor set to receive civil certification, the AW609.

Up to US$65 million will be invested in a 60,000 sq ft Philadelphia academy in a joint venture between Leonardo and CAE, preparing pilots for a range of mission profiles on the AW169 and the new AW609 tiltrotor.
