Helipool owner Daniel Hofer is very pleased to have acquired a Bell 407. An unusual type in Switzerland, the aircraft will be predominantly used for leisure flights and is unlikely to complete too many hours.

In the business since 2005, Helipool's mission is to source the best quality helicopters for its clients. Recent arrivals into its hangar include a 2010-build H120, an EC120 and an AS 355N with 2,670 hours.

Helipool, based in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, has purchased five helicopters this year for the purposes of renovating, repainting and reselling them.
