Today, we organised a media day for Bell Helicopter in Bern, Switzerland. Bell’s newest helicopter, the 429, has been in Switzerland on a European customer demonstration tour, and Bell asked us to generate some media interest in this important helicopter market. Working with our German affiliate, we succeeded in attracting a range of trade and news media, who were briefed on the 429 before enjoying a flight in which the helicopter was put through its paces.

We enjoyed a busy time at Helitech, the largest helicopter exhibition in Europe, held at Duxford Aerodrome (UK) in September. As well as meeting old friends and industry colleagues, we were able to set up a number of key interviews for Bell Helicopter. Indeed, one of the star attractions at the show was Bell’s newest helicopter, the 429 light twin, which has just received European type certification from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Visitors were fascinated to look around the state-of-the-art 429, which also provided a comfortable spot for a relaxing sit-down and some filming!
