The helicopter industry now has a powerful new way to buy, sell or lease aircraft, with the upcoming launch of HeliTrader.com — powered by Vertical Magazine.

HeliTrader.com has been created to serve as an international marketplace, combining the unrivalled global audience of the rotorcraft industry’s largest, most influential helicopter magazine, with an extremely user-friendly website on which owners can list their aircraft, and potential buyers can easily find their dream helicopter.

An easily searchable listing database makes browsing a breeze, while buyers also have the ability to filter helicopters by any number of options, including manufacturer, year of manufacture, airframe total time, aircraft location, price and configuration.

Listings are free during the three-month trial period, after which time sellers will be charged a competitive, hassle-free monthly fee based on the package chosen during sign up.  A simplified fee structure means the only charge for sellers is the monthly listing fee, plus any options that they should purchase. Sellers will also have the option to purchase the help of a HeliTrader Assistant to create and manage their listings. 

“Over the years, one of the things we’ve heard time and again is that there was a real need for a website dedicated exclusively to helicopter sales,” said Group Publisher Mike Reyno. “Our unrivaled global audience of helicopter industry professionals made us the natural choice to host a dedicated helicopter sales website.”

Anyone can create a listing on HeliTrader.com, whether they are selling or leasing a new or pre-owned, piston, turbine, single or multi-engine aircraft. Helicopters can be listed with photos, videos and additional documents. HeliTrader.com is designed to be a one-stop-shop for the rotorcraft community.

“We’ve worked incredibly hard over the last year, in close consultation with brokers and sellers in the industry, to make sure HeliTrader.com is the perfect destination for anyone looking to buy, sell, or lease a helicopter,” said Reyno. “We’re very proud of the end result, and we’re really excited for the industry to see it.”

HeliTrader.com is due to go live in mid-November, but you can visit the website now to sign up for updates as they become available.
