Agusta Westland is partnering with Oboronprom (Russian Helicopters) to establish a joint civil AW139 helicopter final assembly plant in Tomilino, near Moscow.

The final assembly, which will be spread over a 40,000m² site will have a projected capacity of over 20 helicopters a year.

The plant will serve the civil markets in Russia and CIS countries through the AgustaWestland network and will be operated by HeliVert, a Russian Helicopters and AgustaWestland joint venture.

Russian Helicopters COO Andrei Shibitov said that the company was increasing its presence in foreign markets, delivering Russian rotorcraft to foreign customers and opening service centres.

“In this respect we are greatly interested in the foreign experience of organising, managing, planning, certificating production processes and know-how in managing the entire lifecycle of a product,” he said.

The medium twin-turbine AW139 powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6C-67C engines, has multirole capability and flexibility of operation and can carry up to 15 passengers at very high speeds.
