AeroClassifieds features a global selection of new and pre owned turbine helicopters from the world's leading manufacturers. Whether you are sourcing a helicopter for executive transport, emergency medical services, offshore operations, law enforcement, or private use, our marketplace connects you with verified sellers and specialist brokers who understand rotary wing aviation.
Helicopters offer a capability that no fixed wing aircraft can match: the ability to take off and land vertically, hover in place, and access locations without a runway. This makes them indispensable for a wide range of commercial and private missions. Urban point to point transfers, ship to shore logistics, aerial survey work, search and rescue operations, and agricultural spraying all depend on rotary wing aircraft.
Modern turbine helicopters combine outstanding performance with advanced safety systems, including full authority digital engine controls, terrain awareness warning systems, and night vision goggle compatibility.
Light turbine helicopters are the workhorses of the rotary wing industry. The Airbus H125 (formerly AS350 Ecureuil) is one of the most popular helicopters ever produced, prized for its high altitude performance and versatility. The Bell 407 offers a spacious cabin and smooth ride, making it popular for both utility and VIP roles. For operators seeking a twin engine platform in the light category, the Airbus H135 and Bell 429 provide excellent capability with the added safety margin of dual powerplants.
Medium helicopters bridge the gap between light utility machines and heavy lift platforms. The AgustaWestland AW139 has become the global standard for offshore transport, emergency medical services, and VIP operations, offering a large cabin, high cruise speed, and exceptional range. The Sikorsky S 76 remains a favourite for corporate shuttle services, particularly in markets such as New York and Sao Paulo. For heavy lift and long range missions, the Sikorsky S 92 and Airbus H225 serve the most demanding offshore and head of state roles worldwide.
Purchasing a helicopter requires careful attention to several factors unique to rotary wing aircraft. Buyers should examine the main rotor and tail rotor component times, gearbox inspection history, and dynamic component replacement schedule. Turbine engine condition, measured by power assurance checks and trend monitoring data, gives crucial insight into remaining engine life. Corrosion inspection is particularly important for helicopters that have operated in maritime or coastal environments.
Mission equipment also plays a significant role in valuation. A helicopter configured for emergency medical services will carry hoists, searchlights, and medical interiors that represent substantial additional investment. Similarly, offshore configured aircraft with emergency flotation systems and life rafts command a premium in the resale market.
