First Bell 407GXP Purchased in India
The Bell 407GXP was signed for at Bell Helicopter’s India office and Premair will be the first to operate this aircraft throughout India.
“We are thrilled to be the first in India to purchase the new Bell 407GXP,” said Mr. H.S. Waraich. “The luxurious interior, combined with the smooth, quiet performance of the aircraft is exactly what we were looking for to quickly and comfortably transfer our customers and clients throughout the region.”
“Requirements for hot and high performance remain a key element for operations throughout India, and the enhanced payload, heightened capability and safety margins, along with the fully integrated glass cockpit of the Bell 407GXP were the exact fit for our customer’s needs,” said Sameer A. Rehman, managing director, Asia Pacific. “We are delighted to continue our support of Premair’s operations and look forward to delivering the Bell 407GXP.”
Derived from the Bell 407GX platform, the Bell 407GXP has an additional 50 lbs (22.5 kg) of payload capability, coupled with the new M250 Rolls-Royce engine that improves performance and fuel efficiency delivering class leading hot and high performance. The aircraft is also equipped with new avionics features such as a hover performance calculator improvement, as well as a transmission TBO extension of +500 hours that is expected to lower maintenance costs.
