Bell Helicopter Delivers Bell 429s to Turkish National Police
Bell Textron has delivered the first seven of 15 Bell 429 to the Turkish National Police on or ahead of schedule. The aircraft will be used for a wide array of law enforcement missions, including surveillance, personnel transport and air support of ground operations.The first seven of 15 Bell 429s ordered by the Turkish National Police last year were accepted between September and October 2013, with remaining deliveries expected to occur on or ahead of schedule through next year.
During a two-year evaluation period, members of the Turkish National Police Undersecretariat for Defence Industries, SSM and Turkish Aeronautical Industries (TAI) visited several large helicopter OEMs in North America and Europe. The Bell 429 was selected for its superior performance, low operating costs and ease of maintenance. In addition, Bell Helicopter’s industry-leading customer support and service was a key factor in the selection.
The National Police began operating the aircraft as soon as they were delivered, flying surveillance and transport missions nearly every day and night. Each aircraft is equipped with multi-sensor cameras, the latest microwave downlink technology and a state-of-the-art video management system that allows the flow of information between air and ground operations.
