Verticon 2025: Bell Showcases Entire Commercial Portfolio

Bell announces plans to exhibit at Verticon 2025 in its backyard of Dallas, TX, March 10-13, to showcase its exceptional aircraft, technology and customer solutions. Bell is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year and will have its full commercial aircraft portfolio on display.

Bell closed out 2024 with 172 deliveries to various segments, providing aircraft to the Royal Jordanian Air Force, Chicago PD, Quiktrip and more. The team completed various fleet deals, including 10 Bell 525s to Equinor and 15 Bell 407GXis to Global Medical Response. The Global Customer Solutions team announced new upgrades, including the BasiX-Pro Glass Cockpit Retrofit Kit for Bell 412 and 429 models, as well as EASA certification for Garmin’s GFC™ 600H flight control system for the Bell 505.

The company looks forward to displaying the following at Verticon 2025: 

• Peoria Police Dept. Bell 505: The recently delivered aircraft marked the start of the department's first joint Aviation Unit with the Peoria Fire Department. The aircraft aids both law enforcement and firefighting missions for one of Arizona’s most densely populated suburbs outside of Phoenix.
• Global Medical Response Bell 407GXi: Global Medical Response, one of the largest air-medical operators in the world, recently signed for 15 IFR-configured Bell 407GXi aircraft, bringing its total fleet to 250 Bell helicopters.
• Quiktrip Corporation Bell 429: Quiktrip Corporation signed for its second Bell 429 at last year’s HAI Heli-Expo 2024, leveraging the aircraft to seamlessly transport business leaders as it manages more than 1,400 stores nationwide. 
• Kern County SUBARU Bell 412EPX: Kern County is one of the many agencies bravely fighting fires that leverages the SUBARU Bell 412EPX for firefighting missions to serve the citizens of California.
• Oil and Gas-configured Bell 525: A production Bell 525 aircraft will be on display in its latest offshore oil and gas configuration.

Bell’s Global Customer Solutions team continues to provide exceptional customer support to global operators, earning one of the top spots in Vertical magazine’s OEM survey in 2024. This year at Verticon the BasiX-Pro glass cockpit retrofit upgrade, which received FAA certification for the Bell 429 and Bell 412EP in early 2024, continues to be in great demand. The Bell BasiX-Pro Glass Cockpit Retrofit Kit uses the current Bell production displays from Astronautics and Garmin avionics by upgrading analog instruments to a full glass cockpit, featuring the latest technology and state-of-the-art instrumentation.

Bell also recently announced a collaboration with GPMS and its Foresight MX Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS) for the Bell 407, 429, 212, and 412 series aircraft. Bell is also participating in a BHVM trade-in program with GPMS to bring Foresight MX to more Bell customers.
