Bell Helicopter has signed a purchase agreement for a Bell 429 helicopter that has been outfitted to perform utility roles in the Middle East by Saudi Geological Survey.

The aircraft was signed for by Dr. Zohair A. Nawab, president of SGS in a formal signing ceremony at International Defense Exhibition and Conference (IDEX) being held in Dubai.

“We needed an aircraft that could withstand the extreme environments we operate in day-to-day,” said Nawab. “Using the Bell 429’s performance capabilities in high and hot conditions coupled with exceptional vibration control and stability we can better acquire geological data that can help provide a better quality of life to our nation.”

Saudi Geological Survey is an earth science organization serving their community to create a healthy environment.
