AgustaWestland has signed a cooperation agreement with Indonesia’s Indopelita Aircraft Service (IAS) that will see in-country support and maintenance services established for AgustaWestland customers.

AgustaWestland has identified the Indonesian market as a growth area, with nine helicopters sold into the region in recent years, including the AW119, the Grand and GrandNew, and AW139 models.
This agreement will enable the company to further grow its presence in the country, and strengthen its ties with the national industrial base.
