Aero Asset Inc., a leading helicopter trading firm, has launched Aero Asset Acquisitions, a vehicle dedicated to acquiring helicopters for inventory and resale, financed by 1st Source Bank.
1st Source Bank is part of 1st Source Corporation, a publicly traded (NASDAQ: SRCE) financial services company headquartered in Indiana, U.S.A. Its Specialty Finance Group (SFG) specializes in aircraft financing.
“This new business unit purchases turbine helicopters, single and twin engine, in any configuration and from any region of the world. Following purchase, it relocates and repurposes the asset as may be necessary for remarketing and sale,” said Aero Asset President Emmanuel Dupuy. “We recently closed our first acquisition, Airbus Helicopter EC135P2+ s/n 0534 out of Hong Kong. This helicopter is now on its way to the United States where it will be remarketed and sold.”
Aero Asset Acquisitions is managed by a team with decades of transaction execution experience and has readily available funds. It offers world class inventory and trade-in services to clients and strategic partners worldwide.
