Retrofitted with the all-new Designer Series interior, the Bell 429 has completed a flight demonstration tour of Latin America, conducting more than 20 demonstration flights for prospective customers who wanted to try out the aircraft’s latest technological advancements and safety-enhancing features.
“The Bell 429 is a highly sought-after platform for our customers in Latin America. With its generous cabin space, intuitive displays and increased performance, it is ideal for those operating in the region’s diverse landscapes,” said John Ramos, Managing Director for Latin America.
The demonstration tour stopped at rotary wing factories in Chile, Argentina and Brazil and attracted hundreds of potential customers from the defense, public safety and corporate industries who stopped and watched the flight demonstrations.
“We receive positive feedback from customers on the Bell 429’s maintenance performance and our world-class aftermarket support services. The 429 demo tour underscores Bell’s large customer base and the high demand for Bell products across the region,” added Ramos.
Equipped with the renowned aero capabilities of the Bell 429, the platform’s new Designer Series interior features an improved console design, rear storage compartment and enhanced interior design offerings.
To kick off the tour, the Bell 429 Designer Series landed in Latin America for the first time, where it was exhibited during FIDAE 2024 in Santiago, Chile.
The tour launches following Bell’s resounding success in Latin America, with over 850 operators and nearly 1,400 commercial aircraft in service across the region.
