First unveiled at the 2013 Paris Air Show, the Bell 505 Jet Ranger X drew a lot of excitement. Since its first delivery in March 2017, it reached the milestone 100th delivery in June of 2018 and has continued to grow in popularity.

The Jet Ranger has always been a fan favourite in New Zealand, and the 505 is no different. The five-seater has been designed for improved safety, efficiency and reliability with advanced avionics technology, aerodynamic design, and a dual channel FADEC Turbomeca Arrius 2R engine.

In response to this growing market and as a Bell Customer Service Facility, Oceania Aviation is pleased to announce that we've expanded our capabilities to perform maintenance on this Aircraft type. Two of our engineers have recently completed their training at the Bell Training Facility in Fort Worth Texas for Integrated Avionics and Field Maintenance for the 505. 

We look forward to further supporting our Bell customers and operators with these new capabilities.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to talk to our team. We are here to help.
