Bell Helicopter, a Textron Inc. company, signed an agreement with Meghna Aviation Ltd. (Meghna), an enterprise of Meghna Group of Industries in Bangladesh to provide Bell 429 helicopter. Meghna is the first Bell 429 to operate in Bangladesh providing corporate, leisure and utility charter.
“As Bangladeshi operators move to twin-engine helicopters to bring more performance to their missions, it’s critical that the platform they choose can bring unparalleled value and excellent reliability, while minimizing operating economics. The Bell 429 delivers that and more. It is with pride we announce Meghna Aviation has chosen the Bell 429 to meet its growing needs for reliable air transportation for its operating bases in Bangladesh,” said Sameer A. Rehman, Bell Helicopter’s managing director of Asia Pacific. “The Bell 429 is a perfect complement to the Bell 407GX that Meghna Aviation currently operates. We are proud of our association with our friends at Meghna and will deliver a helicopter with unmatched performance and world-class service and support for which the Bell 429 is world renowned.”
The Bell 429 meets or surpasses existing airworthiness requirements to improve occupant safety. The use of metallic and composite parts in its construction creates an ideal equilibrium between rigidity and flexibility, safety and durability. A highly developed avionics and systems monitoring suite guarantees exceptional maintainability and aircraft readiness.
