Bangladesh-based Ad-din Foundation, a private nonprofit organisation serving underprivileged people, has purchased two Bell 505 helicopters. They will be used for patient transfers between the eight hospitals for which Ad-din operates across the country, for medical evacuations and corporate transport.

“The sale of the first two Bell 505 helicopters in Bangladesh show that organisations globally recognise the flexibility and efficiency that the Bell 505 can bring to their respective missions,” says director, Bell 505 sales Lane Evans. “We are proud that Ad-din has chosen the Bell 505 for its medical and corporate missions, and we look forward to providing the support it needs to launch its helicopter operations.”

The Bell 505 is ideal for private charters, corporate executives, medical evacuations, utilities, public safety, pilot training and more. Bell says the light single-engine helicopter offers rugged high performance, superior fuel efficiency and a low cost of acquisition and operation.
