Brazilian retail company Havan has placed an order for a second AW169 in corporate transport configuration, with delivery expected to be performed from Italy’s Vergiate final assembly facility at the end of 2028.

This contract provides evidence of the customer’s satisfaction with its first AW169, delivered in late 2025, as well as its continued reliance on Leonardo VIP helicopters, designed and crafted under its exclusive Agusta executive brand, as Havan has already operated several AW109 light twins over the years. This second AW169 shares with the first aircraft a similar configuration, featuring hinged cabin doors and a 4+2+2 seating layout, among others.

The introduction of Leonardo helicopters has been instrumental in extending reach and enabling rapid access to locations, as the number of shops has grown over the last 20 years, both in opening new shops and in business management.

The success of the AW169 in Latin America is growing rapidly. A total of 30 units have been sold across Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay to date for various roles. Most of them were procured by Brazilian operators for passenger transport, law enforcement, firefighting, and rescue duties. The VIP/corporate transport role remains the most acclaimed in the country, with an existing fleet of 18 units and four additional aircraft planned for delivery and entry into service within 2026.
