McDermott Aviation to Acquire Bell 214ST Type Certificate

McDermott Aviation has announced its intention to acquire the type certificate for the Bell 214ST helicopter from Bell Textron. The agreement will transfer all associated assets, including intellectual property, tooling, and inventory, to the Australian-based company. This move establishes McDermott as the new Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the 214ST platform. As the world's largest operator of the Bell 214 series, McDermott is positioned to support the existing global fleet. The acquisition ensures the long-term viability of the helicopter and opens the possibility of future production.
