In January 2019, Leonardo Helicopters officially unveiled its new Gulf of Mexico Support Center in Broussard, Louisiana. The 20,000 sq/ft facility provides FAA and EASA certified blade repair, spare parts and technical support services to over 700 Leonardo helicopters that are currently in operation throughout the Gulf of Mexico.
