HelicoStore adds Bell 505 to corporate travel fleet
HelicoStore clients love the Bell 505 for its power, advanced safety features, comfort and visibility. The company has added another unit to its Canada-based fleet.
HelicoStore is to buy another Bell 505 to its Canada-based fleet.

Montreal, Quebec-based HelicoStore has signed a purchase agreement for a Bell 505, for corporate transportation operations in Canada.

“I am very excited to add yet another Bell product to the growing fleet of managed Bell 505s at HelicoStore,” says HelicoStore president and owner Jean-Charles Emter. “My clients love the Bell 505 for its power, advanced safety features, comfort and visibility. The aircraft is a game changer for private helicopter owners and is in a class by itself in the light single market.”

HeliStore was established in 1992 and works with both private and corporate helicopter pilots. In 2018, Bell appointed the company as its first independent representative in North America.

“Bell is pleased to announce that HelicoStore, Bell's independent representative in eastern Canada, has purchased a new Bell 505 to be managed on behalf of a private client in Montreal, Quebec, Canada,” adds managing director, North America Lane Evans. “HelicoStore offers a wide range of services in support of local helicopter owners including financing solutions, management and pilot services.”

The Bell 505 combines the latest avionics and engine control technology with a large open cabin that provides panoramic views for all passengers. A fully integrated Garmin G1000H NXi avionics suite and a dual channel FADEC-controlled Safran Arrius 2R engine provide pilots with maximised situational awareness and workload reduction. Combined with its cabin versatility and impressive performance, the 505 is relied on for missions ranging from private owners to public safety and training entities around the globe.
