Austrian operator Kitz-Air this week became Europe’s first commercial customer for the Subaru Bell 412EPX helicopter when it signed a purchase agreement with Bell Textron on Wednesday at Aero Friedrichshafen. The manufacturer has previously received European orders for the twin-engine model from the Croatian government and Sarajevo’s Ministry of Interior.

“Our missions are very demanding: whether lifting more than 2,000 kilograms (4,400 pounds) of external sling load on high-altitude construction projects in the mountains or executing critical firefighting missions, the Subaru Bell 412EPX has the right performance to fulfill all our missions,” said Christoph Klein, Kitz-Air’s accountable manager.
