Another welcome return for the static display at the Malta International Airshow will be a Leonardo EH101 Merlin from the Italian Navy’s 3rd Group based at the Naval Station of Fontanarossa in Catania.
“We are thrilled to announce that the Italian Navy will be taking part in this year’s Malta International Airshow with one of their impressive Leonardo EH-101 Merlin ASW helicopters on static display!”

Most probably the EH101 will be the largest helicopter in this year’s static display. The EH-101 Merlin is a cornerstone of Italy’s naval aviation fleet, designed for advanced anti-submarine warfare, maritime surveillance, and search and rescue operations. With its cutting-edge sensors, long range, and formidable versatility, the Merlin plays a vital role in protecting Italy’s interests across the Mediterranean.
