Span Air signs for second Bell 429

Bell Helicopter has announced that Span Air Pvt. Ltd. has signed an agreement to purchase its second 429 following a demonstration of the world's newest helicopter.
Headquartered in New Delhi, Span Air is a pioneer of private air charter services that operates the light, single-engine Bell 407 as well as fixed-wing aircraft. An original 429 customer, Span Air is to receive its first new light, twin-engine helicopter later this year. Its second 429 is scheduled for delivery in early 2011.
"The 429 is a great machine to fly," said Capt. S.K. Malik, leader of Span Air, who piloted the light twin on a demonstration flight during its recent tour of India. "The Bell 429 clearly and comprehensively stands superior to twins from competing manufacturers in terms of range, speed, passenger cabin volume and comfort. The 429's operating costs are in the most competitive range, which will be very useful for charter operators."
Span Air serves business executives and VIPs who need to travel to remote sites in comfort and privacy and to major cities on their own schedules.
