Aerochine Aviation (Booth P702), the independent representative for Bell Helicopter in China, Hong Kong and Macau since 2009, reports that last year was a banner one for the company’s sales in China.

“In 2011, we broke all records of annual sales of Bell aircraft in China, and our order book for its various models into the second and third quarters of 2012 is looking very strong,” said Diana Chou, Aerochine’s founder and managing director.

Chou, a founding member of the Asian Business Aviation Association (AsBAA), said the company introduced the Bell 429 to China in 2010. Based in Hong Kong, Aerochine also has an office in Beijing and will soon open one in Shanghai.

Hong Kong-based Aerochine is an independent Bell Helicopter rep in Bell Helicopter in China, Hong Kong and Macau.
