Craft Avia Center has added a 2020 Airbus H125 to its fleet through Rotortrade, marking another step in the operator’s expansion across Mexico.

The helicopter has just 800 flight hours and will support a range of utility missions in the Guadalajara area. It is currently scheduled for a pre-purchase inspection at Rotortrade’s MRO facility in Tallard, France, ahead of delivery.

CEO José de Vicente says: “We are very pleased to establish this business partnership with Rotortrade, a clear global leader, at a time when our company is strengthening its capabilities with better equipment and advanced technology to meet the most demanding customer needs and support our ongoing growth.”

Craft Avia Center is a certified MRO and air taxi operator for Bell and Airbus types. It has also built a reputation in Mexico for its work in firefighting, public security and surveillance of critical infrastructure using its own proprietary technology.

The deal was handled by Rotortrade’s Canada, Mexico and Central America sales director Alejandro Bustos, with support from teams in France and Mexico. Sea freight will be used for delivery.
