Last week at #MSPO2026 in Kielce, Poland, the Military Aviation Authority (#WLW) awarded #Leonardo @PZLSwidnik a Military Maintenance Organisation Approval Certificate in accordance with #EMAR145 requirements. This marks an important step in strengthening Poland’s sovereign military aviation capabilities, ensuring that advanced platforms can be supported, maintained and developed through domestic industrial capacity. At the heart of this vision is the #AW109 #TrekkerM and its dedicated combat trainer programme. As a single platform addressing the full spectrum of Polish pilot #training and combat operational requirements, it offers a compelling combination of capability, flexibility and sustainability. The establishment of full domestic production and maintenance capabilities further reinforces the programme’s strategic value, creating a long-term foundation for Poland’s Armed Forces and its defence industry.

From 2–5 September, @PZLSwidnik, the Polish company fully owned by #Leonardo, showcased a range of solutions and mission equipment at #MSPO25 - including the #AW149 multirole military helicopter, innovative drone installation concepts and Search and Rescue (#SAR) equipment. Already produced in #Poland and being delivered to the Polish Armed Forces, the AW149 is a latest-generation helicopter designed for the most demanding missions - from troop transport to air support and SAR missions. To further strengthen Poland’s rotary-wing ecosystem, #PZLŚwidnik is also proposing domestic production of the #AW109 #TrekkerM combat trainer helicopter, offering new opportunities for Polish industry growth and pilot #training. Thank you to all the partners, stakeholders, and visitors who joined us at this year’s edition of MSPO. Together, we are building a stronger, safer future.
