Bell owner, chief executive of Sancak Air and businessman Mustafa Bayrak has bought a 407GXi to use for his own private flights. It will be the first such model in Turkey.

The average business aircraft owner or operator spends his working life in close proximity to technology at the cutting edge. Whether it is fly-by-wire, glass cockpits, flight planning and tracking or satellite communications, it can all be part of everyday flying.

Sancak Air, which claims to have the largest helicopter fleet in Turkey, will recruit more pilots as it brings three further helicopters into operation this year and through next year.
