Rotortrade, the Singaporean helicopter sales and acquisitions specialist and exclusive international distributor of Leonardo’s pre-owned helicopters, is opening a new office for the Central and Eastern European region, its third branch for the European continent.

“Our new office in CEE represents an important milestone, which further reinforces our commitment to providing our customers unparalleled service, quality and value. Central and Eastern Europe is a very active region, leading the way in many respects in the helicopter industry. Any global player would be wise to give this region the attention it deserves," comments Aurélien Blanc, managing partner of Rotortrade.

Philippe Lubrano, Rotortrade's president adds: “The mission in CEE is no different to elsewhere in the world; to provide proximity support to our customers through shared values and culture. I am excited about the positive change that we have created in the last eight years and the opportunities that this new office will bring, not just in Europe, but all around the world."

The office will be headed by Haris Dzanan who, after much success in south east Asia since 2015, is eager to return to Europe to cover German speaking countries (having grown up in Germany) as well as Eastern Europe and Russia. He will be based in Sarajevo under the aegis of the Rotortrade regional European hub in France. His passion for the helicopter industry and client-oriented approach make him the right choice for the CEE growing market.

“It will be exciting to forge new aviation friendships and bring the Rotortrade experience to this part of the world, especially during these challenging times," he says. “Leveraging Rotortrade's global presence, we will be able to offer exceptional solutions for our clients in this region. I am grateful to my Rotortrade family who has helped me align my professional goals with my personal goals, and I look forward to growing this region for many years to come."

This new office strengthens Rotortrade's position as the helicopter distributor with the widest presence around the world with offices in North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
