Aerochine Aviation Sees Double-digit Growth of Helicopters in China
“The liberation of low airspace 1,000 meters and below has fueled domestic development,” said Diana Chou, managing director of Aerochine.

Aerochine Aviation, an independent representative of Bell Helicopter for China, Hong Kong and Macau, signed a purchase agreement for five more Bell 505 helicopters yesterday at ABACE 2014. Shortly afterwards Aerochine signed another agreement to buy two more Bell 407s.

According to Diana Chou, managing director of Aerochine, one customer has already signed up for three of the new 505s, which will be used in sightseeing/tourism operations. Deliveries of these 505s should take place near the end of 2016, she said. The two 407s have been purchased by Yalong General Aviation of Hainan Island. One of these helicopters will be delivered in June and the second in early 2015.
