In this 20th anniversary year, the company's asset haul demonstrates its track record of steadfast growth, even in the face of market challenges and global uncertainties.
2023 has been a banner year for Blueberry Aviation as it celebrates 20 years of serving clients, record helicopter asset acquisitions and strategic investments.

Trading and asset management company Blueberry Aviation acquired helicopter assets valued at $88 million in 2023, the year it celebrates its 20th anniversary.

Founded in 2003, Blueberry Aviation has rapidly ascended to a position of prominence within the industry, consistently delivering turnkey, customer-focused solutions that have earned the trust of its 290 rotary customers worldwide.

The $88 million asset value demonstrates Blueberry's track record of steadfast growth, even in the face of market challenges and global uncertainties. With acquisitions of various manufacturer brands covering most operation segments, the company is well poised to offer the right assets for its customers.

Blueberry Aviation is also looking towards the future and is excited to have partnered with Swiss eVTOL manufacturer Dufour Aerospace to help bring the tilt-wing design of the Aero2 drone to market. As Dufour moves into the global commercialisation phase with the Aero2 drone, Blueberry Aviation will expand its portfolio to include the next-generation aircraft.

The company is also a very active player in the commercial aviation market. In the past two years it has completed 16 commercial aircraft sales transactions worldwide.

2023 has been a banner year as Blueberry celebrates 20 years of serving clients, achieves record helicopter asset acquisitions and makes strategic investments in the future of aviation. CEO Francois Gautier expresses his gratitude for the support and trust the company has received from clients and partners throughout its journey: "This significant achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our amazing team and the trust our clients have placed in us. As we celebrate our 20th anniversary, we look forward to many more years of success, growth and to never stop having fun all the while."

"We are very proud of where we are and who we are as a company," adds executive vice president Aubrey Point. "Over the years we have managed to broaden our expertise while remaining very customer-focused. We are proud so much of our business has been with repeat clients, proving our ability to build and keep strong relationships, and deliver dedicated and effective solutions for each of our customers."
