PRESS RELEASE – Atlanta, GA, United States, 5 March 2026
Rotortrade, the global helicopter dealership, is pleased to announce another year of record-breaking performance in 2025, achieving more than 50% revenue growth and a 35% year-over-year increase in the number of transactions. This marks the highest volume and total value of sales in the company’s history, significantly surpassing its 2024 results.
This year’s growth was driven by strong performance across key market segments. EMS, Utility, and VIP configurations represented 87% of aircraft delivered, reflecting sustained global demand across essential and high-value mission profiles. The EMS sector, in particular, recorded exceptional expansion, with deliveries increasing more than sixfold — the strongest growth across all segments within Rotortrade’s portfolio in 2025.
Sales activity was also shaped by sustained demand for light single- and light twin-engine helicopters. The Airbus H125, Airbus H145D3, and Leonardo AW109SP together accounted for more than 50% of the fleet sold during the year, confirming continued operator preference for versatile, cost-efficient platforms.
From a geographic perspective, Europe and the Americas represented the largest share of deliveries, accounting for approximately 70% of total transactions. Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa remained stable and strategically important markets. Airbus and Leonardo platforms continued to dominate the pre-owned segment, representing more than 90% of Rotortrade’s total completed transactions in 2025.
Commenting on the company’s performance, Philippe Lubrano, Founder & CEO of Rotortrade, stated: “2025 has been a defining year for Rotortrade. Delivering record growth in both volume and value reflects the maturity of our global platform and the confidence operators place in our expertise. The acceleration in EMS and mission-driven segments demonstrates how critical reliable, well-configured aircraft are for essential operations worldwide. Our strategy remains focused on supporting customers across the full aircraft lifecycle — from acquisition and financing to maintenance and asset optimisation — while continuing to expand our international footprint. The market fundamentals remain strong, and we enter 2026 with solid momentum.”
As Rotortrade continues to expand its global reach and operational capabilities, the company remains committed to delivering tailored helicopter sales, financing, leasing, and maintenance solutions aligned with the evolving requirements of operators worldwide.
