Italian operator Alidaunia has signed an agreement to lease two AW169 helicopters from Milestone Aviation Group. The aircraft will support HEMS operations in Italy, which Alidaunia has been providing for more than 20 years.

One of the helicopters is an extension of a current operating lease, and the second AW169 will be delivered from Milestone's order book with Leonardo Helicopters in 2018. “We have built a strong track record in serving several Italian regions and their EMS needs,” says CEO Robert Pucillo. “Our lease partnership with Milestone continues to be a pillar for our company and our mission.”
