Four Bell 407GXis added to Life Flight Network’s air ambulance fleet

Bell Textron has announced that Life Flight Network, the largest not-for-profit air medical program in the country, will add four additional Bell 407GXi helicopters.

These aircraft will bring the operating fleet to seven Bell 470GXis, making Life Flight the largest air medical operator of the Bell 407GXi in the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain West.

Lane Evans, Director, North America Sales, said: “Life Flight Network has continued to see the value and performance the Bell 407 platform has provided in the last several years.

“The additional four Bell 407GXis with certified IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) capabilities will grow their state-of-the-art transport resources, allowing Life Flight Network to further increase community access to industry leading critical care transport.”

Life Flight Network’s total Bell fleet will consist of four Bell 429s and 25 Bell 407GX series helicopters, providing critical care transportation to those in need. The organization has 27 rotor-wing bases, 10 fixed-wing bases, and two neonatal and pediatric bases across Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana.
