Helicopters provide an excellent alternative to the car or train for people who need to make quick long-distance or even short hops regularly for business or pleasure. On the one hand you get to avoid congested roads and train stations, and on the other hand, you get to avoid planning well in advance and submitting detailed flight plans the way you would have to with a private jet. Helicopters can be used just as spontaneously as any vehicle.

If you are interested in purchasing a helicopter, our team of experts at Saracens can ensure that the process is quick, seamless and hassle-free for you.

Apart from helping you with the ownership structure that is best suited for your needs, our team can offer you clear and concise advice on the following:

• Identifying the type of helicopter to purchase
• The Sale and Purchase Agreement
• Warranties and Indemnities
• Insurance Considerations
• Landing Permissions
• Leasing Arrangements
• Financing Options
• Tax Planning

If you are interested in selling your helicopter, we can assist you with the negotiation process and ensure that you get the right price. We can also advise you on your obligations with regards to warranties to ensure that the negotiations go smoothly. We will also seek to protect you by negotiating a holding deposit from an interested buyer before you incur any significant costs in the course of the sale.

In addition to buying and selling a helicopter, our team of experts at Saracens can also advise you on leasing, registration, management and disposal of your helicopter.
