Heli-Expo 2023 (March 9, 2023). Bell Textron Inc. has announced the sale of two Bell 429s to two corporate customers in Southeast Asia, demonstrating the Bell 429’s continued popularity among corporate customers who value the Bell 429’s reliability, smooth and quiet ride, and Bell’s industry-leading support and services.
With today’s announcement, there will be close to 15 Bell 429 helicopters serving corporate customers in the region. This sale comes on the back of two Designer Series Bell 429s that were recently delivered to Advanced Flight in New Zealand.

The Bell 429, with more than 500,000 global fleet hours, remains at the forefront as mission requirements evolve. Advanced capabilities of the 429 include single pilot IFR, Category A operations and an integrated avionics glass cockpit, designed to offer the best combination of flexibility, safety, and durability.
