Foley Sees Helicopter Sales Growing Strongly

Aviation analyst Brian Foley is optimistic about prospects for new helicopter sales in the next few years and expects that “sales will trend upward nicely.” However, that will happen only if buyers realize value in helicopter purchases. “That’s contingent upon the manufacturers’ ability to help customers with all the necessary information and justification needed to make their numbers work,” he said.

The coming decade will “usher in a new era of tightened purchase scrutiny,” and while Foley forecasts “plenty of sales to be had…most if not all will require an indisputable, virtually airtight business-case justification. This could prolong the sales process, so smart buyers and sellers will plan further ahead.”
