New Helo Goes To Long-Time Customer in Mexico
The first Bell 407GX has been delivered to a long-time
Bell 407 customer, AVEMEX, S.A. de C.V., located in Toluca, Mexico.
AVEMEX has been operating Bell 407 helicopters for nine years. "The
delivery of the first Bell 407GX is the culmination of the promise
that Bell Helicopter made at last year’s Heli-Expo when we
introduced it to our customers,” said Larry D. Roberts,
senior vice president, Bell Helicopter’s Commercial
Business.

“Since its debut, we've had the opportunity to demonstrate
the Bell 407GX around the world. We’ve received a resounding
vote of confidence from our current customers as well as many new
customers who selected Bell 407GX to add to their fleet,”
Roberts said. “The Bell 407GX continues to gain momentum
among helicopter operators generating significant orders since it
was unveiled nearly one year ago.”
Mr. Antonio Villanueva took delivery of his new Bell 407GX on
behalf of AVEMEX during a small ceremony at Bell Helicopter’s
facilities in Fort Worth, Texas. The new Bell 407GX will be used
for executive transport. “The Bell 407GX is perfectly suited
for our missions,” said Mr. Antonio Villanueva. “We
really like the versatility and reliability of the Bell 407 and,
with the Garmin G1000H flight deck, it’s a great combination
unique to Bell Helicopter,” he said.
Built on the success of the Bell 407, the 407GX is the only
helicopter equipped with the innovative Garmin G1000HTM integrated
glass flight deck, making it the most advanced light, single-engine
rotorcraft on the market. The Bell 407GX’s integrated glass
flight deck provides aircrews essential flight information at a
glance for greater situational awareness, improved operational
capability and increased safety.
