The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has issued a type certificate for the Subaru Bell 412EPX, making it possible for European operators to put the utility helicopter to work in European Union countries.

Bell Textron has secured orders for the 412EPX in Europe, including one for the Canton of Sarajevo's Ministry of Interior and two for the Republic of Croatia’s Ministry of Interior. All of these helicopters are intended for civil protection, firefighting, medical transport, and natural disaster support, according to Bell.
