Brazilian operator Helisae Servico Aereo Especializado has revealed its intention to purchase a pre-owned H125B2 and a King Air F90. “We sold one Robinson R44 Raven II and unfortunately we lost another one in an accident, an R44 newscopter,” says director of operations Luiz Mendes.

“We fly all over the cities of north east Brazil: executive flights, tourism and business support. We have had very little activity during the current situation.”

Mendes hired one ATP pilot in recent months moments but admits that since the pandemic began, most of his customers have elected to stay at home. “At the moment there are no flights, and therefore no business,” he admits.
