Parapublic Operators and Government Agencies

Parapublic operators and government agencies main drivers involved in the replacement, disposal and/or sale of their older generation helicopters are:

  • Change of fleet, change of capability, government agencies and Parapublic operators may shift to a different helicopter model, i.e. increased performance, payload, range, endurance and speed, larger cabin and more modern avionics.

  • Obsolescence, helicopter capabilities and performances, avionics suite plus cabin configuration and mission equipment installed may no longer meet the minimum civil and military aviation requirement. This is the case for older generation helicopters (30 years of age or more), end of life production and/or retired products from the OEM.

  • Beyond economical when direct operating cost, annual fixed cost such as maintenance and operation may become prohibitive towards the end of life of the helicopter.

  • No longer supported by the OEM, generally after 40 years of life in service and in some cases if the fleet in operation decreases below 50 helicopters worldwide, the OEM may decide to stop manufacturing parts and components and withdraw its support.

Recovery of Capital

Generally speaking, when Parapublic and government sector clients are seeking to dispose of helicopters, our focus is on ensuring timely execution of the sale and maximum recovery of their capital. Whether implementing fleet upgrades or disposing of assets that have become obsolete, prohibitively costly to operate or no longer supported by the OEM, Uplifting Aviation can facilitate these transactions for Parapublic operators to minimise their overhead while securing excellent value for their assets.
