Bell Helicopter signed contracts to supply four Bell 429 twin-engine helicopters to two Indonesian government agencies. On Thursday at the Singapore Airshow, the helicopter manufacturer announced purchase agreements with the Indonesian National Police and with PT Carpediem Mandiri for the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation, each for two 429s.
Bell contracted with PT Carpediem Mandiri, a private general trading company focused on vehicle rentals, to provide helicopters for the transport ministry’s flight calibration department. Fitted with a system from Aerodata, of Germany, the helicopters will perform instrument calibration for helicopter ground instrument landing and departing systems at airports, heliports and helipads throughout the region.
