2021 was a busy year for Blueberry Aviation and 2022 is looking even more promising. Not only has it undertaken eight deliveries so far, but it has welcomed experienced North American specialist Argelia Morello.

Argelia Morello has joined the helicopter sales team for Monaco-headquartered helicopter and commercial aircraft transactions specialist Blueberry Aviation. She will be based in the US and will be dedicated to the North American helicopter market.

Previously she worked at Safran Aerosystems America where she was regional sales manager in the US and also had charge of the Latin American and Caribbean markets.

“I am delighted to welcome Argelia on our team“ says CEO and founder Francois Gautier. “ She is a highly driven and competent aviation professional and a great fit for Blueberry Aviation.”

Morello has over 15 years of aviation experience in the helicopter market, holding sales positions at Prime Industries in the helicopter and fixed wing markets and working at Mapiex Aviation in Panama in support and flight operations for charter and private aviation departments.

2021 was a busy year for the company and 2022 is looking even more promising, with eight deliveries already. Last year it completed 28 helicopter transactions, including sales across all regions and involving models from the three main manufacturers. As a result it moved a total asset value exceeding US$80 million. Blueberry also performed numerous inspections around the world, as well as aircraft technical audits and large portfolio market analyses.

“Overall, despite logistical complications and travel restrictions sometimes stretching average delivery time frames, the market is clearly active, and opportunities lie ahead for our industry,” says EVP Aubrey Point. “ We have delivered eight helicopters in the first two months this year, and our team is busy with exciting new projects.”
