Stops Include Farnborough Air Show, Locations In Western And Eastern Europe

Bell Helicopter is touring a a Bell 429 aircraft configured for Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) in Europe. The aircraft arrived earlier this month and has visited many charity and EMS organizations in the United Kingdom.

"The feedback we received on the UK leg of the Bell 429 tour was absolutely fantastic. The organizations were impressed by the size of the cabin, as well as the quality and flexibility of the interior," said Patrick Moulay, Bell Helicopter’s managing director of Europe. “The Bell 429 raises the standard in the industry in safety and comfort allowing operators to provide an increased level of care for the patients on board.”

The Bell 429 is set to continue its demo tour in the coming weeks with stops in Italy, France, Belgium and Spain as well as other destinations along the way. Finally, the aircraft will be displayed at the Farnborough International Airshow to further showcase the Bell 429’s HEMS capabilities to our international customers.

“We are absolutely delighted to see the growing success of the Bell 429 HEMS in Europe,” Moulay added. “Our operators in Turkey, Russia, Scandinavia, Slovakia, Switzerland and the UK are now recognizing the benefits the Bell 429 can bring to their missions and the level of patient care provided during helicopter transfer.”
