Bell will provide one Bell 429 to be operated by World Aviation, the Málaga-based Independent Representative for Bell. The aircraft will be delivered to a private owner and used for charter operations as well as corporate VIP transport in the Costa Del Sol and other regions in Spain.
The Bell 429 is popular for corporate VIP missions, operating in the French Riviera and the French Alps by Helisecurite, Wucher Helicopter in Austria, Starspeed in London as well as Greece and Cyprus. In Switzerland, the aircraft is operated by HeliAlps, Airport Helicopter, Air Zermatt and Centaurium.
“The Bell 429 is continuing to showcase its breadth of abilities for our European customers – from mountain rescue in the Swiss Alps to law enforcement in Sweden and soon passenger transport in the Costa del Sol,” said Patrick Moulay, Senior Vice President International Sales, Bell.
“The combination of twin engines, IFR capability and Bell’s BasiX-Pro integrated avionics means the 429 is able to fly in more locations and in a wide range of weather conditions, making it a highly versatile aircraft for the corporate VIP mission in Europe,” added Moulay.
World Aviation specialises in passenger and cargo transportation, aerial work and VIP transfers, offering additional pilot training, maintenance and engineering services.
“We’re thrilled to be facilitating the purchase of the first Bell 429 in Spain, and we’re confident that both passengers and pilots will be delighted by the premium experience this aircraft delivers,” said Alberto Delgado, CEO, World Aviation.
