“After the successful sale of three Bell 407GX units in Poland, we are very excited to introduce the Bell 429 to the region,” said Patrick Moulay, Bell Helicopter’s managing director for Europe. “The capabilities of the Bell 429 not only allow for exceptional performance in the most demanding of flying situations, but provide operators and passengers with a high level of luxury and comfort during every trip.”
JB Investments is the longest-operating distributor of light aircraft and helicopters in Poland and offer a wide variety of fixed wing aircraft and helicopters.

Both aircraft will be delivered in the first half of 2015.
