If your purpose is to smoothly and seamlessly buy or sell a helicopter, to trade-in, to find a long-term lease – you are in the right hands. Actually, we will be not only your “hands” in that case, but your time, your advisor, your accountant, your lawyer, your customs, your logistics broker and many more – whatever it takes depending on a deal you want and need, and last but not least - we will be definitely more than the AI in this field. More than 20 years of experience in the helicopter trade internationally makes us the right company for whatever your helicopter need and purpose is.

It is quite a pity to admit that until today the general aviation world has not been very easy to navigate through. The degree of the complications depends on the part of the world you live in. Either you are a wealthy successful business person who is willing to start using a helicopter to save your time by shortening distances or you are a helicopter operator eager to increase your fleet by buying another helicopter from abroad, you may face all sorts of issues, which can make the process from uneasy (if you are rather lucky) to unbearable (and then you might well think of dropping the idea). In the worst and unfortunate case is that you can lose both time and money.

We are here to make your helicopter experience EASY.

This is the key word which we want to focus on. It is very true that aviation in general and helicopter industry in particular is far more complicated than pretty much anything one can think of: cars, real estate, boats, arts – all that is as easy as pie if you compare it to getting a helicopter and putting it into operation in most parts of the world.

The key problem in our opinion is lack of harmonization and sometimes even consistency in various aspects linked to helicopters buying and selling as well as to their operating nuances in different countries. The differences can be enormous to the extent one can hardly imagine. Naming a few of them will not give you a precise picture how serious it can be, but at least mentioning a few sharp examples could give you an idea. Let us start with something relatively simple: many people think a helicopter registration certificate where its tail # is stated also confirms the helicopter’s title. Nope, not necessarily.

There are countries where it is two totally different documents: the certificate of registration in the civil aircraft register of a country and the certificate of helicopter title registration. Another relatively simple case: quite some people think that the certificate of airworthiness has nothing to do with the helicopter registration and that it can be obtained separately. Well, the answer is yes and no – depending on a country. Let us speak about something more serious in terms of potential consequences of not knowing the helicopter trade peculiarities: imagine you found a helicopter you like on the internet and you decided to go ahead and buy it just like that, as you may decide to buy a car. Well, you might not consider the fact that it is in another part of the world, and consequently there will be customs fees to be paid, or you may forget about the VAT or some other taxes. In the worst-case scenario the helicopter might not even exist and the on-line ad can turn out to be a fraud.

We definitely hope it will not happen to you, but the current world is dangerous in many ways and not to get trapped in very special fields, it does make sense to use professionals who will protect your interests and make your life easier all along the way of becoming a helicopter owner and operator. Some people buy a helicopter on-line using their corporate lawyers following the logics “I am paying them salaries in my company anyway, so let them work on this deal as well”. It is very clear why a business-minded individual may think so, though the helicopter field differs immensely from what one’s lawyers might have experience at. And even if they manage not to make too significant of a mess with the contract and other legal aspects of the deal, they will hardly ever know or even think of checking if the helicopter type you are buying is for instance maintained or not maintained in your country (if there are any approved by your country CAA service centers) or if there are pilots for this helicopter type, training centers to get one type-rated and the list of very specific aviation related questions goes on and on.

All that can be amended, not in all cases if it is too late for instance, but in many, but the cost is going to be on you and it might get into a many-digit number unfortunately. Whereas if all that is foreseen since the beginning professionally, we would highly recommend you to buy another helicopter type to avoid enormous additional expenses. We can give many more examples of how tricky things can be when it comes to buying or selling a helicopter and putting it into operation in a particular part of the world, but we will spare your time now hoping a few cases above are enough for the general comprehension.

Let us make helicopter dealings easy and clever together.

What we do best and most:

We listen to what your needs are and what you are going to use your helicopter for and we help you choose the helicopter type considering which country / city it is going to be operated at. Funny as it may seem, but many people make their choice based on the criteria which are logically very understandable (look, design, even color at a picture..), but they do not really consider the key factors like technical characteristics and consequently what the helicopter is going to be capable or incapable of, they may not consider if there are enough maintenance organizations of this helicopter model in their country, if there are flight schools for it and so on and so forth. So, we help customers change focus from the visual aspect only to the usability, particularly for their missions and specifically in their part of the world given its climate, landscape etc. Believe us, more than 25% of people without that competent advice since the beginning choose the helicopter not suitable for their needs and place of living and later on, they get rid of it losing some bucks on the resale.

We find you the helicopter most suitable to your criteria. No matter what they are, we can help you find the best deal, including the off-market one. Many great helicopters are not advertised on the Internet openly, because their existing owner does not want the publicity. He or she signs an exclusive contract to sell the machine, and the broker does the job using his network only. We can also find you financing or a leasing program for the helicopter you would like to get.

We specialize in cross-country deals, when a helicopter from one part of the world is sold to quite a distant other part of the world. The requirements of the CAA (Civil Aviation Authorities) differ quite tremendously then. So, to make both ends meet is quite a challenge requiring particular competencies. Good news is we have them! So, you can rest assured your helicopter will be delivered and put into operation in your country safely and smoothly – easily for you!

We find a new home for the helicopter you want to sell. Yes, that is another specialty of ours; and we will be happy to find a buyer and accompany you through the sale in the easiest way.

Unlike many others we are ok to work on separate/small aspects of a helicopter acquisition, like for instance:

• Organizing a pre-purchase inspection in any country of the world;
• Checking if a helicopter maintenance status is up-to-date, and if not, advising on the list of discrepancies, air-worthiness reviews certificates to be eliminated;
• Analyzing the forthcoming expenses for future helicopter maintenance within the # of years indicated by the customer.
• Specific aviation related documents arranging from the country of a helicopter export and in a country of a helicopter import (de-registration certificate, non-registration certificate, temporary certificate of registration (e.g. for maintenance purposes in a country etc.), no-mortgage certificate, certificate of airworthiness, export certificate of airworthiness, airworthiness review certificates;
• Checking that the helicopter is free and clear of any liens, encumbrances, mortgages, charges, claims, security interests, or other registered interests in any jurisdiction and in any civil aircraft registry worldwide.
• Consulting on registering a helicopter in the most popular commercial civil aircraft registers like T7 (San-Marino) etc.
• Preparing all sorts of documents related to the deal starting with helicopter purchase agreement draft finishing with a bill of sale and acceptance / delivery reports
• Working seamlessly with the world’s most efficient and trusted escrow agents

It goes without saying that most of the time we are trusted to do all of those things as a “package” by our esteemed customers, simply because it is handier for them when everything is in the same hands.

Try us and you will never work with anybody else for a helicopter acquisition or a helicopter sale.
