Hawker Pacific sells first Bell 412EPI into Middle East.
Hawker Pacific has secured the sale of a Bell 412EPI helicopter to Abu Dhabi Aviation. The aircraft is the first of its kind to be delivered worldwide and will be used for offshore oilfield support in the United Arab Emirates.
According to Bell Helicopter, Abu Dhabi Aviation has been operating Bell Helicopter aircraft for more than 30 years, flying more than 700,000 flight hours in Bell 412 and Bell 212 helicopters. Delivery of Abu Dhabi Aviation's Bell 412EPI will take place before the end of 2013.
Introduced in March 2013, the Bell 412EPI improves the Bell 412EP platform with the Bell BasiX Pro fully integrated glass flight deck, the power of Pratt & Whitney's PT6T-9 Twin Pac engines, providing 15 percent more horsepower than the standard Bell 412, and the BLR Strake and FastFin system, which modifies the tailboom to optimize airflow and improve handling, safety and lift.
