Bell Textron has delivered its 2,000th Bell 407 helicopter to White Saddle Air Services, a family-owned operator based at Bluff Lake, near Tatla Lake, in British Columbia, Canada.
The milestone comes nearly three decades after the Bell 407 entered service and highlights the helicopter’s continued use across commercial, utility, corporate and specialist missions worldwide.
Since its introduction in the 1990s, the light single-engine helicopter has built a global reputation for its performance, reliability, cabin comfort, visibility and operational flexibility. It operates in a wide range of environments and across multiple mission profiles.
Bell President and Chief Executive Danny Maldonado said the delivery reflected the work of the teams involved in developing and manufacturing the aircraft, as well as the confidence placed in the platform by operators worldwide.
