Automotive Sales Group BuysWheel-Geared Bell for Corporate Runabout

Australia's first Bell 429 has touched down at its new home with the Alto Group, making it the first of its kind in the country and the 3rd aircraft from the marque in their corporate hangar. 

Alto is an expansive automotive retailer that sells more than 12,000 vehicles every year throughout Australia, and their selection of the Bell 429 is the result of careful consideration of a variety of corporate helicopters. Being able to quickly and affordably ferry corporate personnel to far flung rural locations with minimal fuss was the goal for the aircraft, said managing director Anthony Altomonte. 

“After a long and exhaustive evaluation, we found the Bell 429 helicopter, with the wheel landing gear configuration, as the right corporate helicopter for the Alto Group." As an owner and pilot," Altomonte says, "the Bell 429’s ease of operation and reliability, ample cabin space, coupled with its smooth and quiet ride allows us to travel more quickly and efficiently to our rural operations to support the Alto Group’s growth in Australia.”

“We are pleased the Alto Group has selected the Bell 429 as their corporate helicopter of choice. Throughout the region, our corporate customers have experienced how the comfort and speed of the Bell 429 has supported their businesses and lifestyle,” said Dan McQuestin, business development director at Bell overseeing Australia and New Zealand. “We look forward to working with Anthony and the Alto Group through our Bell network in the region to support high readiness rates for their Bell 429.”
