Bell has signed its first agreement for the SUBARU Bell 412EPX in Europe with Austrian air carrier, Kitz-Air GmbH.

The SUBARU Bell 412EPX will be used for aerial work, transport flights and forestry operations. Bell received previous orders for the SUBARU Bell 412EPX in the European market from Sarajevo Canton Ministry of Interior and Croatia Ministry of Interior.

“We’re pleased to announce the agreement for the sale of the SUBARU Bell 412EPX to Kitz-Air at Aero Friedrichshafen and look forward to celebrating the aircraft’s entry into Commercial operations in Europe,” said Robin Wendling, managing director, Europe. “The Bell 412 platform has provided reliable and versatile solutions for government, military and firefighting missions throughout the region. Bell is eager to continue this legacy by bringing the most advanced Bell 412 to this market.”  

“Our missions are very demanding: whether lifting more than 2,000kg of external sling load on high altitude construction projects in the mountains or executing critical fire-fighting missions - the SUBARU Bell 412EPX has the right performance to fulfil all of our missions,” said Christoph Klein, Accountable Manager, Kitz-Air GmbH.
