BAR Aviation has signed a purchase agreement for a Bell 412EPi to support 24/7 medical evacuation missions and the development of oil and gas projects in Uganda.

In January 2021, the company took delivery of the first Bell 505 in Uganda and the first fully equipped emergency medical service Bell 505 in Africa. The aircraft carries out medical evacuation missions in the region.

“We pride ourselves on going beyond our clients’ expectations by providing an exceptionally broad spectrum of aviation services with a robust team of knowledgeable and experienced professionals who believe in client satisfaction, and­ we do so by operating Bell aircraft,” says CEO Barak Orland. “BAR Aviation is very excited to be adding the Bell 412EPi to strengthen its growing rotary wing fleet, thus contributing to the success of its various missions.”

Bell regional sales manager, Africa and the Middle East, Lynette Loosen adds: “We are privileged to provide BAR Aviation with exceptional Bell products to service and complement its successful aerial operations. The Bell 412 has proven its capabilities and fit for purpose to BAR Aviation, and the company is growing its Bell 412 fleet in East Africa.”

“Barak Orland is a visionary, and we are so proud to be associated with him and the BAR Aviation family,” adds Bell managing director, Africa and the Middle East Sameer Rehman. “Bell looks forward to further strengthening our relationship with BAR Aviation to enhance its service offerings in Uganda and beyond.”
