Bell Textron Canada has reached a significant manufacturing milestone with the completion of its 6,000th commercial helicopter at its Mirabel, Quebec facility. This underscores the brand's longstanding presence in Canada's aerospace sector.
The commemorated aircraft — two SUBARU Bell 412EPX helicopters — will be operated by the Sûreté du Québec under the Ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable. The commercial helicopters are equipped with advanced technology that will help them achieve promising results in search and rescue, tactical operations, and emergency response across Quebec's diverse terrain.
The achievement of the 6,000th commercial helicopter highlights Bell Textron Canada's nearly four-decade contribution to Quebec's economy, including job creation and supply chain development. The partnership with Quebec's government also demonstrates the helicopters' proven track record in public service.
