Bell 429s for Tata Steel

The Tata Steel Group has purchased a second Bell 429 helicopter. As Sameer A Rehman, Bell Helicopter Managing Director for Asia Pacific stated, “The fleet of Bell Helicopter aircraft in India continues to grow as more and more customers come to depend on our performance and see the value in the flexibility provided by rotorcraft flight.” The technology in the Bell 429 includes a fully integrated glass cockpit, advanced drive system, best-in-class WAAS navigation and IFR capability. “The Bell 429 has more cabin space than any other light twin helicopter, with flat flooring and seating for seven passengers and one pilot,” he added.
