Toronto-based Aero Asset has launched Aero Asset Acquisitions, a business dedicated to acquiring and reselling helicopters financed by 1st Source Bank. The Indiana-based specialty finance group at 1st Source focuses on aircraft finance.
“This new business unit purchases turbine helicopters, single and twin-engine, in any configuration and from any region of the world. Following purchase, it relocates and repurposes the asset as may be necessary for remarketing and sale,” said Aero Asset president Emmanuel Dupuy. “We recently closed on our first acquisition—Airbus Helicopter EC135P2+, S/N 0534 out of Hong Kong. This helicopter is now on its way to the United States, where it will be remarketed and sold.”
Aero Asset Acquisitions is managed by an experienced transaction team with readily available funds. It offers inventory and trade-in services to clients and strategic partners worldwide. The company also publishes Heli Market Trends, a preowned helicopter market report.
