Bell Textron has signed purchase agreements for seven Bell 505 helicopters to European customers
Two of these Bell 505 purchase agreements were signed by JB Investments, the longest-operating distributor of light aircraft in Poland.
“The Bell 505 has become a popular aircraft for European operators within the corporate and VIP markets due to its advanced avionics, customizable cabin, and versatility, which make it easy for a weekend getaway or quick business trip,” said Duncan Van De Velde, Managing Director, Europe. “We are proud to see the success of the Bell 505, and we look forward to adding more European customers to the Bell family.”
“We are thrilled to see the growing interest for Bell products among our Polish customers,” added Magdalena Karska, JB Investments. “Thanks to unique capabilities in its class, we see great potential for the Bell 505 model to be operated not only by corporate but also governmental customers in Poland.”
The Bell 505 features the Garmin G1000H NXi flight deck and full authority digital engine control (FADEC). The five-seat aircraft is comfortable and provides good visibility for the pilot and passengers, according to Bell. There are more than 360 Bell 505s operating worldwide, 65 of them operating in Europe.
