Helicopter Flight Training And Touring Company
$ 1,800,000
CF : $ 493,000
Premier Accredited Helicopter Flight School, Tour, Aerial Media & Charter Business. Founded in 2014 by two pilots, Anthelion Helicopters is a premier Southern CA helicopter flight training school and helicopter tour company. Company is committed to providing the highest level of professionalism and safety for all visitors looking to take helicopter training classes, helicopter tours, aerial media, charter flights, gender reveals, City events, weddings, Aircraft management or finding a Helicopter Ride in So CA. 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. NEW Hanger: Investment $!00,000 Helicopter parts: estimated value $50,000 Various other physical assets: 7- person golf cart, mobile fuel and pumping system and other hanger equipment. Estimated value. $10,000 Hanger FFE: estimated value $25,000. Company is the ONLY operator in California to have the Guimbal G2 Cabri advanced trainer and the only school in the So. CA area to have an FAA accredited helicopter flight training device (simulator). Zero accidents on record. 100% safety record. All processes and systems (including SMS safety) are fully documented. Training manuals exist for every role. No single employee “IS” the company. CEO/Chief Pilot owners have been largely absentee but will be available as needed part-time to assist transition. 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. Events and ground-based training facilitated by NEW 4500 sqft hanger and new flight simulator; industry galas, company team building, kids parties and weddings. Marketing: Social Media (Largest flight school Instagram in LA and proven income generator), Facebook, Youtube, Tiktok, LinkedIn SEO, Ad Campaigns, Publications, Website, Trip Advisor, Fare Harbor (on-line sales) and more…LA Helicopters.com, Gifting website, exclusive supplier to www.luxuryhelicoptertours.com, 100 5 star yelp reviews, top of page SEO on many relevant keywords. 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. SBA is not possible without a very substantial down payment, experience, and US Citizenship. Monthly lease on NEW hanger: $6300 (Including helipads). Cash free/debt free. Price firm: $1,800,000.

There is currently one employee working daily 6 hours 5 days per week. Bench of additional employees can be engaged when needed. Seller is active full time in the business and will stay to support transition on a negotiated basis. Seller does plan to move out of CA following transition. The business survived COVID while the industry shrunk with competitors closing. They implemented, and then quickly pivoted away from, an expansion strategy late 2023. The pivot significantly increased SDE due to decreased expenses - even though revenue was down. Seller feels there is significant growth potential for a motivated buyer implementing basic marketing that has been untapped. Equipment will transfer in good working order. Printers recently refurbished. Long term independent maintenance professional has been involved with the care of equipment for many years. FFE Estimate: $150,000 plus about $5,000 in back stock though no “inventory”. In 2024, SDE was a little over $146,022 and 2025 January through June is trending better. Gross Lease $5457 monthly to 1/31/2026. 4,389 SqFt. Additional options negotiable. Business could be relocated within Southern CA if buyer has existing available space or wishes to be more proximal to where they live. Out of state relocation likely won't make sense though possible if existing industry player has space and a going concern. SBA probably won't work due to the pivot. Seller financing up to $140k of asking price possible to qualified buyers (assuming no other financing). Price: $350,000.
