Macquarie Leases Eight More Helicopters

Macquarie Rotorcraft Leasing announced deals for the lease of eight new and pre-owned helicopters this week at Heli-Expo 2015. Under terms of the deals, Macquarie will lease one new Sikorsky S-76D to National Helicopter Services of Trinidad and Tobago and a combination of seven new and used Bell 412EPs to Mexico’s Heliservicio. Both operators support the oil and gas industry.

The Macquarie banking group launched its rotorcraft leasing division in 2013 to supply aircraft to operators serving the energy, emergency medical, search-and-rescue, utility and executive transportation sectors. Macquarie Rotorcraft Leasing’s chairman is former Sikorsky president Jeffrey Pino.
