LifeFlight Eagle selects the Bell 407GX

LifeFlight Eagle has selected the Bell 407GX for its medical mission.

Bell Helicopter has announced an agreement with LifeFlight Eagle for two Bell 407GX aircraft. LifeFlight Eagle will use the helicopters to transport critically ill and injured persons.

“Our current fleet of Bell 407’s has demonstrated a high degree of safe, reliable and cost-effective performance,” said Roxanne Shanks, CEO at LifeFlight Eagle. “We are excited by the opportunity to upgrade our fleet to the new 407GXs, and are very pleased at the high residual value the current aircraft held after 10 years in service.”

The two new Bell 407GX aircraft will replace their two analog Bell 407s.

“The Bell 407GX integrates reliability, speed, performance and maneuverability,” said Danny Maldonado, executive vice president of Sales and Marketing at Bell Helicopter. “With the proven ability to cruise at 130 knots, the Bell 407GX can quickly get to the scene, provide fast and easy patient loading, and a smooth ride to safety.”

“Bell Helicopter is proud to be a part of the life-saving missions carried out by LifeFlight Eagle every day,” said Maldonado. “We look forward to continuing to grow our relationship with them as they expand their operations.”
