400 helicopter transactions cover all brands
Having achieved more than 550 transactions with an asset value exceeding $4bn across its 16 year history, Blueberry Aviation celebrates consistent results in spite of a market that remains tense.
François Gautier believes the pre-owned helicopter market will reshape the global heli industry.

Founded in Dublin in 2003, aviation services company Blueberry Aviation has reached the benchmark of 400 helicopter transactions for a moved asset value totalling US$1 billion, and 150 commercial aircraft transactions for a total asset value of US$3.3 billion. In 2019 the company successfully completed 28 helicopter transactions covering all major helicopter brands, mission types and regions.

CEO François Gautier comments: “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 in acquiring used aircraft, in particular by sourcing financing solutions. I am extremely proud we have reached this incredible result of 400 helicopter transactions. This is a great opportunity to thank our long standing helicopter customers for their continued trust and loyalty, and my staff for continuing to make Blueberry Aviation a very unique and exciting company.”

“We strongly believe that the pre-owned 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,” adds executive vice president Aubrey Point. “We continue to identify opportunities to deliver great value to the market. Our success is largely due to our professsionalism and incredible team expertise.”

The company has also launched a fully revamped website that gives easier access to available aircraft and news.
