Schweizer Welcomes Italian Operator Elicuneo as the Latest European Schweizer Sales and Service Center

Fort Worth, Texas (September 16, 2024) – Schweizer is pleased to welcome Elicuneo P.S.C.R.L. of Boglietto, Italy, as an Authorized Sales and Service Center. Elicuneo now serves Italy with Schweizer aircraft and parts sales, maintenance, and Schweizer-backed customer support.

“The S300 is our primary aircraft and, in our view, still the best training helicopter today,” says Elicuneo CEO Marino Mauro. “Since 1982, we have been using the 300 for crop spraying, pipeline inspection, and flight training. We are proud and confident in our ability to continue this tradition and support as many operators as possible in maintaining this helicopter as the best in its class.”

Based in northern Italy, Elicuneo is a leading Italian helicopter operator and the largest operator of the Schweizer 300 family of helicopters in the country. It operates a fully equipped maintenance center with a well-stocked spare parts inventory.

“Elicuneo’s expertise and experience with Schweizer helicopters made it an ideal partner for supporting our customers in Italy,” says Schweizer President and CEO David Horton. “As our parts and aircraft production have grown, so has the number of customers in Europe seeking maintenance, parts, and aircraft. We are pleased to have a partner in Elicuneo to help meet our Italian customers’ needs closer to home.”
