Bell Textron Inc., a Textron Inc. company, recently appointed Universal Helicopters (UHI) as its first Bell 505 dealer in the United States with authorized territory of Arizona and Utah. Now, UHI has announced their first 505 sale and follow-up order.
Universal Helicopters President Dr. Gordon A Jiroux, hc, stated, “We are proud to announce that we have sold our first Bell 505 to one of our Utah customers. With our large customer base, built over several decades, I knew it wouldn’t take long for us to make our first 505 sale.”
Universal Helicopters’ first Bell 505 customer stated, “After working with Gordon and the UHI team for several years, I have seen firsthand their attention to detail, service, and safety UHI is known for. Gordon and UHI are the perfect partner for Bell. I am honored to be the first customer of this new partnership. UHI always exceed my expectations.”
Universal Helicopters COO Danny MacKenzie stated, “Being the only approved Bell 505 dealership and Bell 206 Certified Training Facility within the US, gives us the unique ability to promote the Bell 505 directly to the end user during our very comprehensive training courses.”
Along with its first sale, UHI placed an order for three additional new state-of-the-art Bell 505’s, which is considered to be the perfect entry level helicopter for those wanting a more stable platform with all of today’s technological upgrades.
