Bell Textron, a wholly owned subsidiary of Textron Aviation, has announced it has secured six new orders for corporate helicopters, which include the Bell 505, 407GXi, and 429 models.
In a statement on November 26, 2025, the company revealed that these new orders were made at European Rotors 2025, a rotorcraft industry event that took place in Cologne, Germany, from November 18–20, 2025.
Bell said the orders came from clients in Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and Poland, but did not specify further. The company only said that the orders underscore the growing demand for its aerial solutions across the European market.
“We have noted a steady demand for our models in Europe, especially for the Bell 505, Bell 407, and Bell 429,” said Robin Wendling, Managing Director of Europe at Bell. “These vertical lift solutions provide our customers with the mission versatility needed for the diverse landscapes in the region.”
Buyers remain unconfirmed
While Bell is yet to disclose any additional information regarding the new order, apart from the model and countries of the customer, the company did announce the details of other additional agreements made during the European Rotors 2025 event.
On November 19, 2025, Bell announced that Germany’s Heli Transair had signed a purchase agreement for three more Bell 505s, with assistance from its Bell 505 dealer, Rheinland Air Service GmbH.
On the same day, Air Transport Europe, a Slovakian HEMS operator, signed a deal to buy its fifth Bell 429 configured for HEMS.
Centaurium Aviation, a Swiss company specializing in helicopter sales and acquisitions, signed a deal on November 20, 2025, to purchase a new Bell 407GXi helicopter.
“We are looking forward to welcoming new and returning customers seeking advanced mobility in region to our world-class Bell family,” Wendling concluded.
