News: AgustaWestland is now FNM Helicopters

Post by Jack »

Nadat eerder de naam Eurocopter bij de overgang van EADS naar Airbus vervangen werd door "Airbus Helicopters" verdwijnt nu ook de naam AgustaWestland voor de nieuwe modellen en daarmee de historische namen Agusta en Westland van de voorgangers van AgustaWestland.

Per 1/1/2016 is de organisatiestructuur van Finmeccania gewijzigd en als onderdeel van de herstructurering gaat AgustaWestland verder onder de naam "Finmeccanica-Helicopters" cq "FNM Helicopters".

De toekomst zal leren of de naamgeving voor de huidige produktie modellen van AgustaWestland zoals de AW139; AW189, etc.. gewijzigd zal worden in bijvoorbeeld FNM189.

citaat: "The name of Yeovil's famous helicopter manufacturer has been synonymous with the town for more than 100 years. After celebrating the manufacturer's centenary celebrations it has now been revealed that the famous Westland name will be dropped forever. In a statement released today, AgustaWestland's parent company Finmeccanica announced it was moving towards a 'one company' operation and would consolidate all its subsidiaries beneath one united name.

The changes, which will take effect from January 1 2016, will see Finmeccanica operate as a single company operating in aerospace, defence and security, organised into four sectors and seven divisions.

The move is the result of a divisionalisation process, launched by CEO and general manager Mauro Moretti in June 2014.

Finmeccanica will have a new governance and operating model replacing the previous model of a holding company of separately controlled businesses

Nadat per 1/1/2016 de organisatiestructuur van Finmeccania was gewijzigd en als onderdeel van de herstructurering de naam AgustaWestland verdween blijkt er volgens het bijgaande bericht van Reuters nog een ontwikkeling te zijn vwb de naam van de Finmeccania. Bekend was dat de helikopter divisie verder gaat onder de naam "Finmeccanica-Helicopters" cq "FNM Helicopters".
Een met gevoel voor historie mooiere naam is de nu genoemde: LEONARDO
