IAM expands with Airbus resales and Shakespeare finance
The company has joined Airbus Helicopters’ pre-owned network while launching Shakespeare Heli Finance to support operators with asset acquisition and re-marketing.
IAM’s new finance venture aims to support the acquisition and re-marketing of non-core helicopter assets.

International Aviation Marketing (IAM) has strengthened its position in the global helicopter sector through two major developments: becoming an approved reseller for Airbus Helicopters' pre-owned network and launching Shakespeare Heli Finance LLC in partnership with RadzWest Capital.

As an authorised Airbus reseller, IAM will provide its global client base with expanded access to quality pre-owned helicopters. “We appreciate the opportunity to work closely with Airbus Helicopters and our mutual clients to efficiently and effectively re-market helicopter assets globally,” says IAM director and founder Brad Shaen.

Separately, the launch of Shakespeare Heli Finance will offer alternative financing solutions to support operators, manufacturers and leasing companies in acquiring and re-marketing non-core helicopter assets. “Shakespeare is a game changer in the helicopter sector as we have the flexibility to rapidly commit to transactions in unique jurisdictions,” adds Shaen.

Brian Raduenz, owner of RadzWest, says: “We plan to supercharge IAM’s decades-long experience to address a real need we’ve seen from talking with prospective customers. Our business is specifically tailored to providing creative financial solutions for our clients and the aerospace sector in general.”
