Bell Textron announced today during Farnborough International Airshow 2026 that it received a signed purchase agreement for an IFR-configured Bell 407GXi, marking the first time that the platform with an IFR configuration kit will be operated by a customer in the United Kingdom.
“Our team is honoured to celebrate this signing and expand our Bell 407GXi offerings to customers in the United Kingdom,” said Robin Wendling, managing director, Europe, Bell. “The Bell 407GXi has earned its name as a multi-mission workhorse, and we continue to see steady interest in the Bell 407GXi platform across the region.”
In addition to the aircraft order, Bell recently completed a demonstration tour with the platform in the United Kingdom, making stops at Lydd Airport, Goodwood, and High Wycombe.
“Combining its IFR capability with the platform’s latest Designer Series interior offering, the Bell 407GXi provides customers with the ultimate VIP experience to suit their business needs,” added Wendling.
