Global aircraft brokerage Blueberry Aviation has reached a milestone in its rotorcraft trading business, completing 400 preowned helicopter transactions worth $1 billion since 2003, it announced this week at Heli-Expo 2020.

“We believe used equipment is the key to operators regaining profitability in a difficult economic environment, and Blueberry Aviation is keen to support its customers to acquire used aircraft, in particular by sourcing financing solutions,” said company CEO François Gautier. 

Last year, Monaco-based Blueberry (Booth 5232) brokered 28 helicopter deals, covering all of the major OEMs, mission types and regions, and it has recently launched a fully updated website with new features and easier access to available aircraft.

“We strongly believe that the preowned helicopter market not only offers huge opportunities but that it will be instrumental in reshaping the global helicopter industry and allow it to regain buoyancy,” explained Aubrey Point, Blueberry’s executive vice president. “We continue to identify opportunities to deliver great value to the market.”
