Bell Helicopter, a Textron Inc. company, announced the signature of a new purchase agreement for the Bell 505 with HUBI-FLY from Austria and the recent certification of the aircraft in the Ukraine and Russia. With over 150 aircraft delivered worldwide, the Bell 505 is already demonstrating excellent performance, the company said in a statement on May 21.
“The Bell 505 is truly a legend reimagined and we are excited to be showing off the aircraft during EBACE,” said Bell managing director for Europe, Duncan Van de Velde. “We look forward to welcoming more customers to the Jet Ranger family including HUBI-FLY and making the aircraft a staple for corporate and tourism flights in Europe.”

Helideal, also a Bell Independent Representative based in southern France, provides the highest standard of Bell 505 pilot training with the certification of the renowned Bell Training Academy.
