"Bell Helicopter has played an important role in the Philippines’ national defence for six decades, and it is a profound privilege to continue this relationship."

In April last year, Bell Helicopter agreed on a $105m purchase agreement with the Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC) for the delivery of the helicopters.

The Philippine Air Force (PAF) has been operating derivatives of the Bell UH-1H helicopters since the late 1960s, and received their first two Bell 412s in 1994.

In March, Bell Helicopter received a contract to supply Bell 407GX multi-role helicopters to the Mexican Air Force (FAM).

Under the contract, the company will deliver 15 Bell 407GX helicopters, which will be configured for a variety of parapublic missions.
