Vertical’s HeliTrader.com goes live with already over 165 active helicopter listings


Vertical Magazine has announced that its new helicopter buying, selling and leasing platform, HeliTrader.com, is now live with over 165 active listings. 

HeliTrader.com serves as an international marketplace, combining the 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 readily find their dream helicopter.

“The helicopter industry is ready for a website dedicated to rotary-wing sales, and now with HeliTrader by Vertical, we have it,” said Scott Hope of Heli Connections Aviation Inc. “From our perspective as a broker, HeliTrader is easy to manage, and enables us to get our listings out there quickly and efficiently. For an appraiser, HeliTrader is simple to navigate, and with a few clicks we can gather valuable intel on current market trends.”

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.

Tony Steer of Oceania Aviation commented on how user-friendly the HeliTrader platform is, saying it’s “one of the easiest we have used so far.

Vertical’s HeliTrader is long overdue, but an extremely welcome addition to the aircraft trading industry,” added Steer. “We love that it is specific to rotorcraft only, and do hope it keeps other advertising platforms in the industry on their toes!”

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. 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.

“HeliTrader takes a fresh approach to online marketing with their new, user-friendly platform,” said Jamie Chalkley of Eastern Atlantic Helicopters. “Buyers, sellers, brokers — this site is an absolute dream! Congratulations, HeliTrader, and thank you for listening!”

Reyno added: “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. We’re very proud of the end result, and we’re really excited for the industry to see it.”
