At this year’s World Defense Show, Bell is showcasing the Bell 505 platform – one of its premier multi-mission aerial solutions. In addition to its static display, Bell’s commercial business leaders and sales representatives are on-site to welcome attendees looking to experience the advanced capabilities of the platform.

 

“We are delighted to be able to showcase our Bell 505, which is already well established in the region as the ‘go to’ training platform of choice for military and commercial pilots alike,” said Tim Evans, Managing Director, Middle East and Africa. “Our comprehensive end-to-end training program is supported by the Bell Training Academy and state-of-the-art technology, making the Bell 505 a cost-effective and reliable training solution. We believe Bell is well placed to support Saudi Arabia’s evolving defense requirements and long-term capability development.”

 

Bell’s participation at World Defense Show highlights the company’s continued commitment to supporting military, government, and commercial operators through advanced vertical lift solutions designed to meet evolving operational and mission requirements. The event provides a global platform for Bell to engage with defense stakeholders, industry leaders, and customers from across the region and beyond.

 

“World Defense Show offers an important forum to engage with Saudi Arabia’s defense and government stakeholders as the Kingdom continues to advance its Vision 2030 agenda. Bell has a long-standing commitment to the Middle East region, and we look forward to discussions on how we can continue to deliver reliable, mission-ready vertical lift solutions,” added Evans.

 

World Defense Show is one of the world’s leading defense and aerospace exhibitions, bringing together international companies, decision-makers, and innovators across air, land, sea, space, and security domains. The exhibition serves as a key venue for collaboration, strategic dialogue, and the exchange of ideas shaping the future of defense integration and advanced technologies.

 

With its history rooted in performance, safety, and operational excellence, Bell continues to support a wide range of defense, security, and special mission applications worldwide.
