Telesis launches GATR to expand in rotary leasing
GA Telesis Rotorcraft is off to a good start, having secured a portfolio of seven Bell 206L4 helicopters. Some are already placed with operators, others available, and one to be parted out.

GA Telesis, headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, has formed GA Telesis Rotorcraft (GATR) to provide lease and finance solutions in the helicopter sector. GATR has already closed its first helicopter transaction with a portfolio of Bell helicopters.

Of the seven recently acquired Bell 206L4s, four are subject to multi-year leases. Regarding the other three helicopters, one is available for lease or sale. A second helicopter will be refurbished and made available for lease or sale later this year. The final helicopter will be parted out and sold as used serviceable material. Eric Dollman, VP, will be leading the helicopter strategy for GATR.

“We are very excited to launch GATR to add helicopter capabilities to the GA Telesis ecosystem,” comments Marc Cho, president of GA Telesis' Leasing, Investment, Financing and Trading (LIFT) Group. “Rotorcraft are a natural extension of the comprehensive suite of products and services that GATR offers for commercial aircraft and engines.”
