Span Air takes delivery of first Bell 429 helicopter in India

Bell Helicopter has announced the first
delivery of a Bell 429 helicopter to a customer
in India.
The announcement took place at the 2011 Aero India air show where the company
has the aircraft on display.

The customer, Span Air and is one of the
region’s most prominent air charter operators, offering a mix of jets and Bell helicopters.

India currently has two Bell Helicopter customer service
facilities, Air Works India and Deccan Charters, to support the numerous Bell helicopters
operating in the country.

Prior to arriving at Aero India, Span Air’s
429 helicopter completed a cross-country demonstration tour that gave key
prospective customers the opportunity to experience the aircraft first hand.
