Bell Textron has set a new record for aircraft orders in Latin America during FY2024, marking the largest number of Bell 429s ordered in a single year in the region. This milestone underscores the growing demand for Bell’s aerial solutions and its success in the Latin American market. 

John Ramos, managing director, Latin America commented: “Bell is thrilled to have reached this incredible achievement as it is a testament to the trust our customers have in our products and the hard work of our dedicated team. We have noted a steady demand for our models in Latin America, especially for the Bell 429, Bell 407, and Bell 505. These vertical lift solutions offer our customers the mission versatility needed for the diverse landscapes in region.”

Bell 429, Bell 407, and Bell 505 bring distinct features to their operators, with each platform tailored to specific operational needs. Whether for search-and-rescue operations, corporate travel, or public safety missions, these platforms can serve independently or complement each other as the ultimate mission enhancers.

For several years, Bell has established an intricate network of Customer Service Facilities and Authorized Maintenance Facilities tailored to providing around-the-clock solutions for its Latin American customers. Following the establishment of its operations in Latin America, the company has celebrated several milestones, including the delivery of the 500th Bell 429 to a Brazilian corporate travel operator. With nearly 1,000 commercial and military operators located throughout Latin America, Bell continues to invest its resources in furthering its position in-region.
