Leasing - a smart move?

If you’re a small to medium operator your days are exhausting.

Between finding work, keep your existing clients, scheduling jobs, managing pilots and placating the wife (or husband) - the days roll into one.

Volation offers fully serviced commercial leasing using the boringly safe and conservative Bell 206B3 ‘Jet Ranger’ which are guaranteed to help you get rich quick out of Aviation.

The fact is that your business is flying Helicopters, not owning or maintaining them and if you look at the most profitable and successful Helicopter companies world wide - they don’ t buy and hold.

One good thing about our lease aircraft is that they are hard to tell apart, which keeps the wannabes on ‘Flightradar24’ guessing just which one you are.

1986 AB206B3 ‘Jet Ranger’ ZK-IEL

Richard & Stuart Popperwell | HeliMe

This Jet Ranger spends it days hanging out in the downtown core of Auckland CBD. When it’s not moving tourists from vineyard to vineyard, it can be seen sipping lattes with EC130T2’s and the odd Bell 427.

1986 AB206B3 ‘Jet Ranger’ ZK-IAC

Roger & Miriam Stevenson | Skywork Helicopters

Skywork are one of New Zealand’s most reputable operators well known not only to the NZ scene but also Australia and Indonesia. So far we’ve been able to convince them to keep the original paint job but I see some purple and yellow in IAC’s future…

1986 AB206B3 ‘Jet Ranger’ ZK-IEO

FOR LEASE | Volation Support Ship | Beach hop…

As a professional pilot myself, it is important to me that our aircraft on lease are fully supported with spares. IEO resides in Colin’s hangar and while for sale, fills a role of donor should any of our team need something critical in a hurry. It’s clips along at 105kts at 70% torque and we love the low gear. I’m open to short/medium term leases for IEO since we do have a surplus of BELL 206 component and C20J Rolls Royce Engines on the shelf.

If you’re interested in getting a turbine rating or ad-hoc hiring IEO - get in touch.
