Queensland Police Service (QPS) and Bell Textron celebrated the commissioning of three Bell 429s by the service at Rotortech Australia. The delivery doubles the size of the QPS 429 fleet and makes it the largest law enforcement operator of Bell products in Australia.
The aircraft will be employed on a variety of law enforcement missions in support of ground policing efforts across the state.
“The Bell 429 is more than just an aircraft; it is a symbol of innovation and reliability,” said Daniel McQuestin, Bell’s business development director, Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Rim speaking about the delivery. “Together with QPS, we are advancing aviation technology while strengthening and increasing trust and collaboration, ensuring communities are protected and served with excellence. The Bell 429 is a proven platform that delivers unmatched performance, reliability, and versatility, making it an ideal choice for public safety operations. We are proud to support QPS in their dedication to enhancing operational capabilities and safeguarding the people of Queensland.”
