Fittipaldi Aircraft has signed a dealership agreement for 10 AgustaWestland (Hall 2B 165) helicopters.
A joint venture between former Formula 1 world champion Emerson Fittipaldi and investment bank State Capital, Fittipaldi Aircraft will act as a non-exclusive dealer to the US VIP helicopter market. Deliveries of its AgustaWestland helicopters - nine Grand light twins and one AW139 medium twin helicopter - will take place in 2011 and 2012.
Customisation of the Grand helicopters and assembly of the AW139 will be carried out at AgustaWestland's facility in Philadelphia.
The latest variant of the Finmeccanica-owned manufacturer's AW101 medium-lift helicopter is making its Paris debut this year.
