Singapore-based, multi-brand helicopter dealer Rotortrade Services is continuing its efforts to become the international leader for the growing pre-owned rotorcraft market. The exclusive global distributor for Leonardo’s pre-owned helicopters, the company boasts a fleet of more than 50 aircraft including Bell and Airbus models. Since the start of the year, Rotortrade has logged seven sales and bolstered its inventory, including the Airbus AS350 and EC225 and the Leonardo AW109 and AW139.

The end-to-end brokerage, which has offices in Kuala Lumpur, Los Angeles, Mexico CIty, Paris and most recently, Montreal, aims to bridge the gap between helicopter owners, operators, maintenance organizations, OEMs and the industry as a whole. “A successful transaction goes far beyond the transfer of ownership,” said Aurelien Blanc, the company’s managing director. Rotortrade services include pre-purchase inspections and evaluations as well as maintenance and retrofit management.
