Helicopter broker Rotortrade believes the focus will remain on the preowned helicopter market as new civil turbine helicopter sales are expected to remain under pressure. According to the Singapore-based company, the preowned rotorcraft market is now more than 2.5 times larger than the new segment, forcing OEMs to reevaluate trade-in requests as part of transactions.
