About Agusta Helicopter Company
Agusta (later AgustaWestland, now Leonardo Helicopters — but the original brand most aircraft carry) is the Italian rotorcraft manufacturer renowned for sleek, fast, well-appointed helicopters favoured in corporate/VIP, EMS and offshore roles. The line centres on the **A109 / AW109** light twin (a fast, retractable-gear corporate/EMS twin with distinctive Italian styling), the single-engine **AW119 Koala** (the single-turbine sibling of the 109), and the medium twin **AW139** (the offshore/EMS/VIP workhorse that became one of the most successful medium helicopters of its generation). Agusta also built licence versions of Bell designs (Agusta-Bell AB206, AB212, AB412). There are currently 109 used Agusta helicopters for sale.

Frequently Asked Questions — Agusta
Is Agusta the same as Leonardo Helicopters?
Yes. AgustaWestland became Leonardo Helicopters in 2016 as part of the Finmeccanica-to-Leonardo corporate rebranding. The lineage traces through several mergers: Agusta (Italy) and Westland (UK) merged in 2000 to form AgustaWestland, which became a division of Finmeccanica, later renamed Leonardo. Aircraft designations remain the same (AW109, AW139, AW169, AW189). On AeroGurus, older helicopters appear under the Agusta or AgustaWestland name while newer production carries the Leonardo brand.
How much does an AgustaWestland AW109 cost?
Used AgustaWestland AW109 Power helicopters average approximately $4.2 million. Annual operating budget at 300 hours runs approximately $1.19 million ($3,980/hour all-in). The AW109 is a light twin-engine helicopter known for its speed (154 kts cruise — one of the fastest in its class), sleek Italian design, and excellent corporate/VIP configuration. Newer AW109 Grand and GrandNew variants command higher prices at $5-7 million used. The main competitors are the Bell 429 and Airbus H135.
AgustaWestland AW139 vs Airbus H145 — which medium helicopter is better?
The AW139 is larger, faster (165 kts vs 145 kts cruise), and has greater range and payload — it is a medium-class helicopter competing against the Airbus H175 and Sikorsky S-76. The H145 is a lighter twin that costs less to purchase ($8M vs $10-14M new) and operate ($3,500/hr vs $5,115/hr). The AW139 dominates offshore oil & gas, SAR, and VIP transport. The H145 excels in HEMS, law enforcement, and urban operations. They serve different mission profiles — the AW139 for heavy-duty work, the H145 for lighter, more cost-sensitive operations.
What is the AW139 helicopter used for?
The AW139 is one of the most versatile medium helicopters in production. Primary missions include: offshore oil & gas crew transport (its largest market), search and rescue (SAR), VIP/corporate transport, law enforcement, emergency medical services (HEMS), and government/military roles. Over 1,100 AW139s have been delivered to 290+ customers in 70+ countries. Its combination of speed, range, payload, and all-weather capability makes it the industry benchmark for medium twin-engine helicopter operations.
