This isn’t the first time the regional police has used its new aircraft for a life-saving cause. In January, the Bell 429 was used to airlift two injured teens to safety. The Yucatán Government announced: “In the tasks of these days, the modern aircraft, considered the best equipped of its kind in Latin America and intended for surveillance and rescue, landed at kilometer 86 on the Merida-Chetumal highway, Teabo-Xaya section, to board two teenagers, 13 and 17 years old, who were already receiving first aid from SSP paramedics.”

In a statement, Bell said: “Since it’s delivery in January 2020, the Yucatán Government’s Bell 429 has proven itself to be a key asset in saving lives and caring for community members in this Mexico region. Our customers complete meaningful missions across the globe, and the great work done by the Yucatán government and their Bell 429 is no different.”
