PhilJets takes delivery of first Bell 407GX

PhilJets has announced the arrival of a new Bell 407GX to its fleet. It is the eighth aircraft for the group, and is the only 407GX currently available for charter in the Philippines.

PhilJets now operates both Bell and Airbus aircraft (four H130s and one AS350B2), allowing the company to meet a variety of customer demands. “Most of our helicopters have forward-facing seat configuration, which is proven to be ideal for tours and sightseeing flights. Now, we can offer a club seating experience to our customers who prefer having conversations on board,” said Choy Elciario, head of air charter sales.

Geoffroy Cahen, head of sales and marketing, said: “We are eager to start the operation of the first Bell helicopter in our fleet. We have invested in training and have added very experienced pilots and technicians that have a strong knowledge of this new type of helicopter.”
