Broussard, Louisiana-based Meridian Helicopters has finished its 29th complete refurbishment of a Bell 206L4 helicopter, which was sold to charter operator FlyNYON. The refurbishment process took six months and 2,700 man hours.

In addition to overhauling the Rolls-Royce 250-C30P engine and the helicopter’s dynamic components, the airframe was painted and the seats were fitted with ultra-leather. The three-tone paint colors match the color scheme of the seats. Meridian also installed a full Garmin avionics suite, an Air Comm environmental control system, and a pop-out emergency float system.

“We are very excited to be taking delivery of this beautiful 206L4. With its arrival, our fleet grows to seven helicopters, which will help to meet the 2025 demand of our loyal customers,” said FlyNYON CEO Patrick Day.

“We have a long relationship with FlyNYON through years of leasing helicopters,” said Michael Bashlor, managing partner of Meridian Helicopters. “Meridian takes great pride in the fact that FlyNYON selected us to provide this beautiful Bell 206L4. Our goal with this aircraft was to deliver a turnkey solution—a lightweight VIP aircraft equipped with very specific equipment and options. We strived to deliver a like-new aircraft that exceeded expectations.”
