LCI, a leading aviation company and a subsidiary of the Libra Group and Sumitomo Mitsui Finance and Leasing Company Limited (SMFL), have delivered two new Leonardo AW169 helicopters from their joint venture leasing operation to the well-established Italian helicopter operator, Alidaunia.
The two state-of-the-art aircraft will be based in Naples and Salerno on long-term operating leases, from where Alidaunia will use them to deliver mission-critical and socially responsible Emergency Medical Services (EMS) operations for the Campania region of Italy.
LCI and SMFL’s joint venture portfolio now totals 38 units valued at over US$420 million (£341 million) – a doubling in size in less than two years from when the JV was launched in September 2020 with 19 aircraft.
