What Hype is tracking

  • Secures in‑service logistics for Italy’s 12 C‑27J Spartans and the ITC Pisa Full Motion Simulator, preserving fleet availability and training throughput for the 46th Air Brigade.
  • The award mirrors other long‑term OEM sustainment programmes in Europe and underscores the strategic value of manufacturer‑led support arrangements for tactical transport fleets (see the France H145 10‑year support programme: https://hype.aero/?story=a1dc9177-3e90-42fc-88cf-34512dd82b0f).
  • Reinforces Leonardo’s services and after‑sales footprint, complementing the company’s recent double‑digit growth in orders, revenues and core profit, and aligns with its ongoing simulator and training collaborations (see the AW139 simulator co‑development: https://hype.aero/?story=46d70c75-0122-4124-94c8-8dd7f8bd6f94).
