Centaurium Aviation, an independent representative of Bell Textron in Switzerland, has signed a purchase agreement for a new Bell 407 GXi helicopter. The helicopter will initially be used as a demonstration platform for customer presentations and will also be offered for onward sale.

The Bell 407 GXi continues to gain strong traction in the European market, particularly among VIP and corporate operators seeking a balance of comfort, performance and safety. Featuring the Garmin G1000H NXi integrated avionics suite, a FADEC-equipped Rolls-Royce M250-C47E/4 turbine engine and a smooth, quiet cabin environment, the 407GXi delivers exceptional reliability and mission flexibility.

“We are seeing a growing level of interest in the Bell 407GXi across Switzerland this year, particularly from private and corporate customers who value its performance and refined comfort,” says Ivan Schmidhalter, CEO Centaurium Aviation.

“We are delighted to strengthen our work with Centaurium and appreciate its continued trust in Bell's products and support,” adds Daniel Hoegemann, regional sales manager, Bell Textron.

The collaboration between Bell Textron and Centaurium underscores a shared commitment to offering high-quality rotorcraft solutions tailored to the needs of discerning customers in Switzerland.
