Rotortrade Sells First Airbus H160 in Argentina

Helipatagonia is the first company to buy and operate an Airbus H160 in Argentina, following Rotortrade’s sale of the helicopter to the “Southern Cone” company. This H160 is configured for executive transport.

While Rotortrade conducted the sales process, it also arranged pilot training coordination and technical cooperation with Airbus Helicopters and Helicópteros Marinos, which assisted with the delivery, along with Airbus Helicopters in Argentina. Other entities involved in the transaction included Rotortrade México, Airbus Cono Sur, Sabena Technics, and local authorities.

Based in Patagonia, Helipatagonia operates from a private helipad at Lago Escondido and provides charter, adventure tourism, executive transport, heliskiing, helifishing, aerial photography, cargo transport, and wildlife control services.

“This project demonstrates our ability to coordinate complex transactions across regions while meeting demanding timelines, regulatory requirements, and operational expectations,” said Rotortrade executive v-p for Latin America Raymond Lubrano.

“Working with Rotortrade was a seamless and highly efficient experience,” said Helipatagonia operations manager Alfonso Naish. “Their ability to manage the transaction end-to-end, anticipate challenges, and coordinate all stakeholders made the process straightforward and reliable from start to finish.”
