Bell Textron recently announced sales of three Bell 429 light twin-engine helicopters for VIP operations in Europe. The trio of buyers will operate the 429s in the UK and Estonia.
“We continue to see a growing demand for our corporate-configured aircraft in region, especially with the Bell 429,” said Robin Wendling, Bell’s managing director for Europe. “The Bell 429 combines speed, comfort, and luxury, which are three things that are especially ideal for our corporate and VIP customers. We look forward to working with our three new operators as they expand their fleets with this exceptional platform.”
More than 500 Bell 429 GlobalRangers have been delivered, and they have collectively logged more than 735,000 hours. With a flat-floor 204-cu-ft cabin, the 429 can accommodate up to seven people. Maximum cruise speed is 155 knots, and at long-range cruise, the 429 can fly for 4.5 hours and 411 nm.
