The Slovenian police force will get another AW169 soon after Slovenia purchased the first multi-purpose helicopter, manufactured by Italy’s Leonardo Helicopters, in early 2020.
The EUR 15 million contract on the purchase, delivery and maintenance of the AgustaWestland AW169, a twin-engine, 10-seat multi-purpose transport helicopter, was signed on Saturday by Slovenian Interior Minister Aleš Hojs with representatives of Leonardo. Hojs said on the occasion that he was happy that the helicopter fleet of the Slovenian police was being expanded, the Interior Ministry said on Saturday.
