The Italian Army has taken delivery of its first two ICH-47F Chinook helicopters during an official ceremony held at Vergiate plant (Italy) on October 2nd. The start of deliveries set a major milestone in the strategic partnership between the Company and the Service, providing a significant contribution to the modernisation of the Italian Army helicopter fleet giving the customer further enhanced capabilities. The overall Italian Army’s ICH-47F programme is based on an order for 16 units. The contract also includes a five year logistic support service. Deliveries of all aircraft will be completed in 2017. The ICH-47Fs will be operated by the Italian Army Aviation 1st Regiment “Antares” based in Viterbo and they will replace the CH-47C Chinooks that have been in service since 1973.
