Bell has announced that EnB AIR Co., Ltd.’s has signed an agreement for the purchase of a Bell 505 in South Korea.

“We are honored that EnB AIR has signed a purchase agreement for their first Bell 505 helicopter and look forward to ensuring a smooth delivery and supporting them as they begin operations,” said Cho Choon Ho, regional sales manager, Korea, Bell. “With over 100,000 global flight hours, the Bell 505 continues to set the standard as the next generation light single helicopter for multiple missions. We are confident Korean operators will appreciate the value it provides.”
Established in 2020, EnB AIR provides helicopter services focused on aerial patrol, pest control, material transport, and forest firefighting. Upon delivery, the Bell 505 will become the first Bell helicopter in EnB AIR’s fleet.
