Helicopter distributor Rotortrade has opened a new subsidiary, Rotortrade do Brasil, in São Paulo to expand services in the Latin American market. The company recently completed the sale of a 2020 Airbus H125 to Brazilian aerospace and defense company Aeromot.
Services offered by Rotortrade do Brasil include helicopter sales and acquisitions, technical advisory and inspections, after-sales support coordination, and financing and leasing. The company will focus on corporate, VIP, and offshore markets, offering preowned Airbus H125, H145, and H160 models as well as the Leonardo AW109 and AW139. Rotortrade do Brasil will operate under Rotortrade LATAM, its regional office in Mexico, and will be managed by sales manager Gabriel Durif.
“Our local presence will allow us to better understand operators’ needs and offer faster, more customized solutions,” he said. “Brazil is not only a key market for us—it’s also a country where relationships and reactivity make a real difference. Being here, on the ground, is essential to deliver the level of service we stand for at Rotortrade.”
“Opening Rotortrade do Brasil is a clear reflection of our strategy,” said CEO Philippe Lubrano. “We invest where the market is growing, and we do so with the intention to stay. Brazil deserves dedicated support, and our new local entity will help us deliver quicker, closer, and more customized service to our partners across the country.”
