Flying High in Dubai With The Bell 505

One of the perks of owning a yacht is the ability to access new and exciting places, as long as these places border a waterway. When they don’t, that’s when a helicopter can help you reach unchartered areas. As a premier travel destination that welcomes tourists from all over the world, Dubai is also growing into a yachting hub. The Mediterranean and Caribbean coasts are the typical hotspots for massive boats and yachts to drop their anchor, but Dubai is becoming more and more attractive to this community. The city boasts high – end luxury resorts and a variety of activities from indoor skiing to desert dinner experiences. From oil and gas to engineering and manufacturing, the booming business in this region is drawing more people in from all over the globe.  

Enjoying time on your yacht near the marina and participating in these immersion activities can be made a lot easier with a Bell 505. The Bell 505 packs a big punch in a small frame which will allow you to maximize your travel experiences. With a glass cockpit and an open interior, passengers possess full visibility of their surroundings. For a city as gorgeous as Dubai, with sprawling desert around it, the enhanced visibility is an added bonus.

As a light single aircraft, the Bell 505 is a perfect fit for all sized yachts. It can be used to bring guests arriving at the nearby airport aboard the ship, or even for a last-minute trip to shore to grab extra motor oil, ingredients for a chef or a bottle of champagne. When it comes to the weather in the United Arab Emirates, the hot and dry temperatures don’t stop Bell products from losing their peak performance. Bell's large presence throughout the Middle East proves this fact. Bell 412s have served as the quintessential aircraft being used for offshore oil transport, and the Horizon Flight Academy regularly trains pilots in Bell 407s. With the Bell 505’s recent entry into market, this member of the Bell family is already receiving significant interest in this region.

You can learn more about the small yet luxurious aircraft, perfect for yacht travel, at the Dubai International Boat Show. Also, all Dubai travelers or tourists can also view the Bell 505 in the VIP Terminal of Al Maktoum International Airport until March 7.
