Located at the best helicopter training airport in LA. Partnership separation and absentee ownership is motivating the sale. The sellers have done the heavy lifting over a decade and have other interests and responsibilities. At this time, though the business is quite profitable and positioned for significant growth, its physical assets and certifications are valued as much or more than the cash flow (from a replacement vs commercial lender perspective). That said, after an uncontrollable and very unfortunate industry maintenance issue in 2023, 2024 and 2025 cash flow has caught up. Sellers are motivated but the business is growing, the fiscal reality is comfortable, and the future is bright. This is an established good business with a solid team in place. Regardless, the buyer will need to be well capitalized and/or have immediate experience and significant cash available for continued investment to grow. Physical Assets to be sold together: Two owned R44 Helicopters and two R22…along with a 2 yr old full motion flight simulator – estimated value at $1,400,000. FAA Part 135 (Charter Full certificate). The Part 135 Full Certificate is the highest level and enables flexibility like traveling interstate. Part 61/141 Flight School). Chief Pilot, Director of Operations and Director of Maintenance positions are required to maintain the full certificate. Part 91 LOA for air tours. SEVIS certification received effective 6/1/23 (student exchange visitor program which will enable company to issue i20 and M1 Visas). This represents a very significant growth opportunity for the future. Certificate and Certifications – estimated value $700,000. Cut the line! These certifications and certificates take many years (6-8) to secure and newcomers to the 141-flight school side can’t even apply until business has been operational for 2 years.

The CEO may be available after the sale in a part-time advisory capacity. The Chief Pilot) will assist with a transition, but there must be a clear path for complete exit in a reasonable timeframe. Current Staff: Operations Manager, Assistant Chief Pilot, Front Desk Admin, 4 Pilots, mostly absentee owners (both Pilots). The critical gap you will need to fill is that of Chief Pilot. Currently Nina is the Chief Pilot and wishes to exit the business following a reasonable transition period. She also serves as the Chief Instructor. The Assistant Chief Instructor/Pilot could get to Chief Instructor reasonably soon. It will take longer for him to meet Chief Pilot requirements. Current revenue streams: Flight Training, Charter, Tours, Aerial Photography and videography, Gender Reveal (first in the country to make it into a viable commercial product), Aircraft Management.

Significant investment and operational efficiencies have set the next owner operator up for accelerated growth in revenue and earnings beyond 2024. Capital investment in 2021 & 2022 resulted in owned vs. leased helicopters, though there is a 1 leased and 1 managed helicopter in the 2025 mix. The change in strategy resulted in significant annual expense reduction and the NEW hanger and flight simulator are now adding new income streams in general and opportunities to generate income when the weather isn’t appropriate for flying. Bring or earn your pilot license, hire more pilots, or train and employ them to grow the business to its potential. Revenue History: 2018 $1.2, 2019 $1.3M, 2020 $1M and 2021 $1.68M, 2022 $1.36M, 2023 $1.12M, 2024 $1.32M, 2025 Jan-June $714k. 2024 SDE $493K.
