The first LeonardoAW109 VIP Trekker helicopter for a European customer has debuted at the Monaco Yacht Show held from 25 to 28 September.

After the show, the VIP Trekker flew to the United Kingdom for delivery thanks to Sloane Helicopters, Leonardo’s distributor for over twenty years in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

The privately-owned aircraft are operated by Apollo Air Services, available for VIP charter market. 

The AW109 Trekker is the newest model within Leonardo’s light twin-engine helicopter range.

The Trekker joins a fleet of Leonardo VIP helicopters that lead the UK and Irish market: almost 100 aircraft with nearly 90% represented by the AW109 series (Power, Grand and GrandNew).

This market is second only to Brazil where about 130 Leonardo VIP helicopters fly amongst 400 San Paolo helipads.
