About
Rotorcraft people, working the African market
Helicopters Africa is a brokerage and sourcing network operating across Africa: we connect buyers with vetted sellers, operators and approved maintenance organisations in Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Ghana and Angola. Airframes, engines overhauls, AOG parts, management: if it has a rotor, the desk has a file on it.
The two sides of the desk
Sales. Helicopters trade differently from jets: fleets turn over through operators, mining houses, charities and government tenders, and the good machines are spoken for before they hit a portal. We track who is retiring what, which airframes are coming off contracts, and which owners will sell if the number is right.
Maintenance and support. A helicopter that does not fly is a hole in the budget. We put owners in front of the right approved maintenance organisation for their type, source parts across borders, and structure management arrangements so the machine earns charter revenue when the owner is not flying it.
What we are not
We are not an operator, not a manufacturer's dealership, and not a listings website. No inventory pressure, no favourite brand. When a Robinson answers the mission better than a turbine twice its price, that is what we will tell you.
Prefer to just ask? Send a short message, we reply the same day.
Message the deskFees, stated up front
Acquisitions and sales run on a written success fee. Maintenance and parts referrals are quoted per job. First conversation and first search cost nothing, and if the honest answer is 'keep your current machine two more years', you will hear exactly that. Start with what is on the market or go straight to the service desk.
Frequently asked questions
Do you own the helicopters you offer?
No. Every aircraft belongs to a third-party seller. We verify ownership, lien status and maintenance records before an introduction is made.
Which countries do you work in?
Active files in Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Ghana and Angola, and the network reaches most of the continent. If your machine or your buyer is elsewhere, ask anyway.
Can you manage a helicopter I already own?
We arrange management through licensed operators: crewing, scheduled maintenance, hangarage and charter revenue when you are not flying. One WhatsApp message starts the conversation.
