Rotortrade Opened Subsidiary in Brazil

Rotortrade, June 05, 2025 - We're excited to share a major development in our journey: Rotortrade has officially opened Rotortrade do Brasil, a fully owned subsidiary based in São Paulo.

This marks a new chapter in our long-term commitment to Latin America, and especially to Brazil — home to the largest rotorcraft fleet in the region and one of the most vibrant helicopter markets in the world.

Why Brazil, Why Now?

We are now on the ground to bring even more proximity, agility, and tailored solutions to the market. With this move, we’re reinforcing our ambition to deliver local expertise backed by the full power of Rotortrade’s global network.

Rotortrade do Brasil will provide the full suite of services our clients expect:

- Helicopter sales and acquisitions
- Technical advisory and inspections
- After-sales support coordination
- Access to our global inventory
- Financing and leasing solutions
- Strong links to our worldwide partner network

A local team for global support: Our Brazilian operations will be led by Gabriel Durif, who has successfully developed our presence in the country over the past two years. Gabriel and the new São Paulo-based team will work closely with Rotortrade LATAM office in Mexico to deliver a responsive, localized experience.

As Gabriel puts it: “Being in Brazil means we can better understand our clients’ needs and respond more quickly. This market thrives on relationships and trust—values that are core to Rotortrade.”

Targeting the VIP & Energy Sectors: From pre-owned H125s and AW109s to the H145, H160 and AW139, we’re focusing on premium corporate and VIP helicopters. Our approach includes flexible trade-in options and asset swaps to help operators optimize import duties and modernize their fleets.

We’re also doubling down on our offshore energy strategy, supporting operators with helicopters adapted to Brazil’s fast-evolving oil and gas sector.


Raymond Lubrano, Rotortrade Head of Region LATAM, said “Brazil is a key pillar in our Latin American growth and launching Rotortrade do Brasil is more than just an expansion—it’s a clear signal of our long-term commitment. We’re here to stay, investing where the market is growing, and doing so with the creativity, flexibility, and dedication that define Rotortrade globally.”

We look forward to supporting more operators across Brazil with the speed, reliability, and global reach that make Rotortrade the trusted name in helicopter solutions.
