As of October 16, 2026, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) registry lists 52 aircraft under the manufacturer name "LEONARDO SPA". All 52 registrations are valid, and every aircraft is a rotorcraft powered by turboshaft engines. Forty-two of these aircraft are classified under the standard airworthiness class, while one falls under experimental. The fleet is relatively modern, with most aircraft built between 2010 and 2026. Half of the registered units were built in 2020 or earlier.
The registered Leonardo S.p.A. aircraft are concentrated in three distinct models. The AW169 leads with 20 aircraft, built between 2015 and 2026, with a capacity for 12 seats. The AW109SP follows with 19 units, built from 2010 to 2025, accommodating 8 seats. The AW139 accounts for the remaining 13 registrations, built between 2017 and 2024, with a 17-seat configuration. Each model has its own page with specifications and the type certificate data sheet (TCDS). The FAA lists type certificate data sheets (TCDS) for these models under specific holders: R00007RD for the AW169, H7EU for the AW109SP, and R00002RD for the AW139.
