“We see the 505 as having the benefits of the 206 history crossed with the Airbus comfort and performance,” Nautilus Aviation and SAR Helicopters Australia chief executive Aaron Finn told Australian Aviation.
Hawker Pacific will lease one of the 505s from Nautilus for a demonstration tour of Australia in early 2018.
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) issued Bell with its Australian Jet Ranger X type certification on March 1.
