Swiss Helicopter Operator Expands Fleet as Modernization Continues
Bell has sold a pair of its 505 helicopters to Swiss aviation company Karen SA as apart of their fleet modernization plan. The 505s will be pressed into service as VIP haulers, commercial flights, and pilot trainers when the occasion fits. Karen SA offers a wide range of services, including corporate transportation, helicopter management, pilot training, technical training, and maintenance, repairs and overhaul. The model has gained some status within the Bell portfolio as a more affordable but capable option.
