Pre-owned sales specialist Rotortrade has entered into a partnership with Sphere Aero, which will serve as a channel partner in the Philippines and Cambodia. This collaboration aims to further expand Rotortrade's service offerings and presence in these strategic markets.

Thierry Tea, CEO of Sphere Aero, expresses his enthusiasm for the partnership: “We are thrilled to join forces with Rotortrade. By combining our local expertise with Rotortrade's extensive inventory and resources, we are well-positioned to provide exceptional service and support to our clients in the region.”

Aurélien Blanc, executive director and VP head of region APAC/MEA at Rotortrade, emphasises the strategic importance of the collaboration: “The Philippines and Cambodia are key growth markets for Rotortrade. Partnering with Sphere Aero will help us better address the unique needs of our customers in this region, offering them the flexibility to work with either organisation based on their preferences and requirements. We believe this collaboration will deliver greater value and a seamless experience for our clients."

With its AMO and AOC through PhilJets, its affiliate in the Philippines, Sphere Aero is positioned to support owners and operators in the region. These capabilities complement Rotortrade's global dealership strategy, providing customers with a comprehensive suite of services, from aircraft sales and acquisitions to maintenance and operational support.

The partnership will officially launch in November 2024, with Geoffroy Cahen, head of sales at Sphere Aero, and Edoardo Cariati, sales manager for these countries at Rotortrade, leading the efforts to ensure seamless coordination and top-level service for clients in the Philippines and Cambodia.
