Momentum grows for the Bell 505 in Europe
The Bell 505 has become a popular aircraft for European operators within the corporate and VIP markets. Two of seven units recently ordered will be on their way to Poland, potentially for government customers.

Bell Textron has signed purchase agreements for seven Bell 505 helicopters with European customers. Two of these were signed by Bell's independent sales representative JB Investments, the longest-operating distributor of light aircraft in Poland. The signing ceremony was held in Prague with JB Investments board member Magdalena Karska and Bell Europe managing director Duncan Van De Velde in attendance.

“The Bell 505 has become a popular aircraft for European operators within the corporate and VIP markets due to its advanced avionics, customisable cabin and versatility, which make it easy for a weekend getaway or quick business trip,” says Van De Velde. “We are proud to see the success of the Bell 505, and we look forward to adding more European customers to the Bell family.”

“We are thrilled to see the growing interest for Bell products among our Polish customers,” adds Karska. “Thanks to unique capabilities in its class, we see great potential for the Bell 505 model to be operated not only by corporate but also governmental customers in Poland.”

The Bell 505 has Garmin G1000H NXi and FADEC. The five-seat aircraft is comfortable and provides extensive visibility for the pilot and passengers.
