Helicopter Sales
Sometimes chartering a helicopter isn’t enough. For some companies and individuals, they use a helicopter charter so often that it’s worth the expense to purchase their own. HeliJet Solutions doesn’t just charter helicopters but also manages helicopter sales as well. If you’re looking to purchase a helicopter, look no further. HeliJet Solutions will help you find the one that best meets your needs.
Why Own a Helicopter?
If you or your company makes use of a helicopter charter often, then purchasing a helicopter may be a worthwhile asset. Many who own a helicopter are pilots, so if you are a trained pilot or someone who is your company’s employee, then owning your own helicopter could end up being more efficient than chartering.
Helicopter On Demand
While helicopter charters are convenient, if you use one very frequently or you need to have one available urgently at short notice, it can be beneficial to own instead of to charter. Helicopter charters can often be available within hours of booking, but with your own helicopter on call, you can leave at a moment’s notice. Sometimes your schedule doesn’t allow for hours of notice.
Helicopter Sizes
What size of a helicopter you need to purchase depends on how you would use the helicopter. If you are a trained pilot and can fly your own helicopter and you are purchasing the helicopter for personal transport, a smaller helicopter could be preferable. If you are not the pilot, a mid-size helicopter would have enough space for the pilot in front and you in the back. If you are planning on flying longer distances, however, you may need a larger helicopter that has a longer range.
If your company is buying the helicopter for transporting groups of people or for conducting inspections on property and equipment, then a larger helicopter would be needed. If a company has heavy cargo to transport long distances, then you would need to ensure that the helicopter purchased is able to carry the maximum payload that might be shipped.
Pre-Purchase Budget Decisions
Before you begin searching for a helicopter, it’s essential to know exactly what you’re looking for and what you’re willing to spend. Determine a budget ahead of time. It’s important to know exactly what costs will go into owning a helicopter, from fuel and hangar costs to management and insurance costs. In addition, if you are hiring a pilot to fly the helicopter, that cost needs to be considered as well.
Once you have a budget in mind, you can start the search for the right helicopter. It’s a good idea to make sure that the budget you have set is enough for a helicopter that will fit all of your or your company’s needs.
