Helicopters for sale and kept flying, across Africa
From an R44 for the farm to an AW139 for the rig run: we source the airframe, verify the component times, and keep it maintained after the handshake. One WhatsApp message starts it.

The machine is half the job. Keeping it flying is the other half.
Helicopters in Africa work for a living: crew change flights to rigs off Lagos and Luanda, game counts in the Karoo, medevacs out of Nairobi, lifting drill rigs in Ghana. Machines like this change hands through operators and tenders, not glossy portals, and their value lives in the component times, not the paint.
That is why the desk runs both sides. Sales: sourcing, records verification, survey and closing in Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Ghana and Angola. Maintenance: approved maintenance organisations for your type, AOG parts across borders, and management that puts the machine to work when you are not in the seat.
