Miramar Empreendimentos Imobiliários To Take Delivery Of Milestone Aircraft

The 200th Bell 429 will soon be delivered to Miramar Empreendimentos Imobiliários, a hi-rise residential construction and real estate company serving the coastal area of Sao Paulo for more than 30 years. The aircraft will be used for corporate transportation and charter around Miramar’s projects and key areas in Santos, São Paulo, Brazil. The aircraft will officially be handed over to the customer in a special delivery ceremony at the end of the month.

“We really needed a twin-engine helicopter that was fully equipped for IFR Flights,” said Armenio Mendes, president of Miramar Empreendimentos Imobiliáros. “The Bell 429’s low operating cost, advanced technology and proven reliability led us to purchase this aircraft that will help us transport our customers and team safely, quickly and effectively.”

Miramar has been a customer with Bell Helicopter since first purchasing a Bell 206 Jet Ranger in 2000. They also later added a Bell 407 to their fleet.

"When we introduced the Bell 429 a few years ago, customers throughout the world responded, especially in Latin America,” said Jay Ortiz, Bell Helicopter’s vice president of commercial business in Latin America.  “We now have more than 40 of these aircraft operating in the region and look forward to growing our global and regional Bell 429 fleet even more in the years to come.”
