Bell 429 Sent to Cameroon

Offshore Oil Helo First of the Type in Region

Bell has another bird headed to West Africa courtesy of the oil and gas market, with a shiny new Bell 429 picked up by Caverton Helicopters Limited.

 

The operator will press the new helo into service as a courier for offshore platforms off the coast of Cameroon. The firm notes it's the first 429 to operate in the region.

“Caverton’s choice to introduce the Bell 429 into its fleet not only demonstrates the strengthening of our relationship with Caverton, but also the Bell 429’s ability to exceed the critical requirements of West Africa’s offshore utility market. The hard-working men and women who are the core of the most important industries in West Africa will come to count on the Bell 429 to ensure mission success,” said Patrick Moulay, senior vice president, International Sales.

“Having operated a variety of Bell products across our operations over the years, we are excited to continue with this brand, synonymous with excellent performance,” said Rotimi Makanjuola, Chief Operating Officer, Caverton Offshore Support Group. “Introducing the Bell 429 into our fleet is an exciting milestone for us and will enable us to provide the best support for our oil and gas clients across the continent.”
