MONACO – March 2013
This year Avinco proudly
celebrates its 10 year anniversary as one of the world’s leading pre-owned
helicopter specialists. Avinco is a 20-strong company, with operations in
Monaco, Ireland and Germany, complemented by representatives worldwide. Avinco
has steadily grown despite various industry upheavals.
Avinco has successfully
transacted over 220 helicopters in its 10 years in business, with more than 50%
on trade.
2012 transactions included
21 helicopters sold- covering Asia, South America, North America, Europe and
Africa.
During its evolution,
Avinco has demonstrated its understanding of the worldwide market and adapted
its offer and services. Avinco attributes its continued success to offering
customers tailored solutions in a rapidly changing market. With access to a
wide network, Avinco provides a reliable resource for buyers, lessees and
aircraft owners while delivering qualified services in even the most complex
scenarios.
This is possible through a
mix of on-going market intelligence, extensive product knowhow, innovative
financial structures/solutions, and the key ability to offer technical services
that such as configuration modifications and equipment upgrades.
“Over the past decade,
Avinco has taken great pride in making aircraft acquisition and disposal easier
by offering tailored solutions to its clients, small and big alike”, says
François Gautier CEO, “Though we expect a more favorable market in the second
half of 2013, the first half should be as challenging as last year. According to our market analysis, Oil & Gas shows steady
growth and new opportunities, and a growing market for mining with heavy
utilities. The Corporate market promises limited scope this year again outside
Russia and Brazil. In our view opportunities will lie with EMS replacements only
in the USA.”
“Today’s market can be
daunting and customers need a partner they can trust, “François Gautier
concludes, “customers need to find finance, buy at the right price and be in a
position to react quickly to market changing situations - that’s what we’re
here for and that’s what we do best.“
Avinco continues to expand
its leasing activities to offer an even wider range of services, as well as
develop its helicopter Spare Parts sales activity. In addition to an extensive stock
of Puma spare parts, it now offers a wide range of used BO105 parts, EC135
avionics and dynamic components for Gazelle, Lama, Alouette III, Ecureuil,
Dauphin & Super puma, and more stock is planned for this year.
Avinco is in the process of
re-launching its website, already one of the leading second-hand helicopter
search engines. The new fully revamped website will offer an even more sophisticated
facility for advanced aircraft search and seamless contact with Avinco,
accessible in the office and on the go. Launch
planned for March 2013.
