The sellers have done the heavy lifting over more than 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.

Current Staff: Operations Manager, Assistant Ops, Front Desk Admin, 4 FT, 2 PT plus new Fixed Wing Instructor/Pilot, 2 owners mostly absentee owners (both Pilots).

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 1 managed r44 and 1 managed Cabri in the 2025 mix. The new Cessna 172 TAA is leased. The change in strategy resulted in significant annual expense reduction and the new hanger and flight simulator are adding income streams in general and opportunities to generate income when the weather isn’t appropriate for flying.
