At the Singapore Air Show Bell have announced that South Korean aviation operator EnB Air has signed a purchase agreement for a Bell 505 dedicated to initial attack firefighting missions, marking the 505’s entry into Korea’s firefighting operations and expanding the aircraft’s growing role in aerial firefighting worldwide.
“Helicopters provide what ground crews cannot—immediate access to remote terrain and aerial perspective for tactical fire assessment. The Bell 505’s versatility allows operators like EnB Air to maximise their investment across firefighting, aerial patrol, and other public safety missions,” said David Sale, managing director, Asia Pacific.
