While Bell capped off 2022 with the U.S. Army Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) program win valued at up to $80 billion, president and CEO Mitch Snyder stressed that its commercial business remains firmly cemented in the company’s future.

Noting he has received many questions on whether it will turn its focus on the military side, Snyder stressed to reporters during a recent media day in Fort Worth, Texas, that Bell (Booth B5504) has invested at least at much in the commercial business, if not more. “We found the right balance, in my mind,” he said.
