Milestone signs MoU with Rotortrade

Milestone Aviation have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with helicopter distributor Rotortrade, for the sale of up to seven rotorcraft

The agreement covers a mixed portfolio of Airbus H225s and Bell 412s which are scheduled for delivery to Rotortrade in the coming months.

The Airbus H225 Super Puma is a long-range, twin-engine helicopter capable of a range of operation types, including all-weather search and rescue (SAR), aerial firefighting, law enforcement, passenger transport and utility work.

The Bell 412 is a multipurpose, twin-engine utility helicopter which is similarly used for roles such as SAR, law enforcement, troop transport and utility work, as well as helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) operations.

“We are pleased to partner with Rotortrade for the sale of these helicopters,” said Pat Sheedy, CEO of Milestone Aviation. “This transaction is evidence of the maturity of the Milestone platform and our robust portfolio management strategy which is a key component of our success.”

“This partnership showcases our expertise and experience in the H225 segment, and we look forward to having Milestone’s high-quality helicopters in our inventory,” said Philippe Lubrano, CEO of Rotortrade.

Milestone Aviation recently agreed to lease two Leonardo AW189s and four Sikorsky S-92 helicopters to the Bristow Group.
