The operational capabilities of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) have been extended with the acquisition of a new Bell 412 EPI helicopter.
The helicopter was manufactured in 2018 by Bell Textron Inc, an American aerospace manufacturer headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, and is suited for missions and operations in the context of the Guyana terrain.
The twin-engine powered aircraft, which was purchased in January, comes with a three-year 1,000 flight hour warranty and additional insurance should there be a need for maintenance at a short notice.
