Business Description
Established in 2009, this is a diversified Las Vegas aviation group running five complementary revenue lines from a single base at a Class D airport in the metropolitan area:

- Helicopter tours under a Part 135 air carrier certificate, including a Part 91 letter of authorization for Las Vegas Strip routes
- Rotor flight training
- Fixed-wing flight training
- Aircraft maintenance under a Part 145 repair station certificate, covering both piston and turbine work
- New and used aircraft sales as an appointed Robinson dealer

The combination is what makes this unusual. Tours draw on year-round Las Vegas visitor traffic; the flight school serves local and international students in a market with sustained demand for commercial pilots; and the repair station works on both the in-house fleet and outside customers, including a national air-medical operator and several private owners. No single line carries the business.

FLEET: Eight Robinson helicopters (R44 Raven I/II and R22), six fixed-wing aircraft (five Cessna 172 and one Cessna 182P, TAA-equipped), and Redbird LD+ and TD simulators. Two further aircraft are already on order - an R44 Raven II for October 2026 and an R66 for late 2027 - expanding tour and training capacity without any additional certification work.

FACILITIES: A leased commercial hangar with attached offices, plus a separately owned 3,300 sq ft hangar with an apartment on a long-term county land lease. The owned building is included in the asking price.

BARRIERS TO ENTRY: The Part 145 repair station certificate and the Robinson dealer and service-center appointment are the durable advantages here. Both take years and capital to obtain, and neither is easily replicated by a new entrant.

PEOPLE: 20 full-time staff across flight operations, maintenance, reservations and administration, including certificated flight instructors and Part 135 line pilots. Key personnel are expected to remain. The owner will provide a structured transition and will consider a consulting arrangement for an agreed period following closing.

DILIGENCE: A full data room is already prepared and is released on execution of a non-disclosure agreement - confidential information memorandum, financial statements, a quality-of-earnings analysis documenting every adjustment and its basis, general ledger detail, asset schedules, leases and insurance.

Qualified buyers only, following a signed NDA. Please do not contact staff or visit the premises.

Facilities & Assets
Operations are based at a Class D airport in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. The business leases a commercial hangar with attached offices, and separately owns a 3,300 sq ft hangar with an apartment on a long-term county land lease.

Fleet: eight Robinson helicopters (R44 Raven I/II and R22), with a new R44 Raven II due October 2026 and an R66 due late 2027; six fixed-wing aircraft (five Cessna 172 and one Cessna 182P, TAA-equipped); and Redbird LD+ and TD simulators.

The business holds a Part 145 repair station certificate and a Part 135 basic carrier certificate, plus a Part 91 letter of authorization for Las Vegas Strip tour routes. It is an appointed Robinson dealer and service center for the R22, R44, and R66, and carries Garmin, Avidyne, LightSpeed, David Clark and Appareo Stratus dealerships.

A full asset schedule, quality-of-earnings analysis and financial statements are available following execution of a non-disclosure agreement.
Market Outlook / Competition
Las Vegas is one of the highest-volume helicopter tour markets in the United States, supported by year-round visitation and proximity to the Strip, Red Rock Canyon, Lake Mead and the Grand Canyon corridor. The fixed-wing and helicopter flight school serves local and international students in a market with sustained demand for commercial pilots.

Revenue is diversified across five lines rather than concentrated in one: fixed-wing flight training, rotor flight training, aircraft maintenance (piston and turbine), helicopter tours, and new and used aircraft sales.

The Part 145 repair station certificate and the Robinson service-center appointment are meaningful barriers to entry, both requiring time and capital to replicate.
Opportunities for Growth
Several avenues are identified and are not reflected in current earnings:

- Capacity. Two aircraft are already on order (R44 Raven II, October 2026; R66, late 2027), expanding tour and training capacity without additional certification work.
- Turbine maintenance. This line has grown from a small base and is currently capacity-constrained rather than demand-constrained.
- Aircraft sales. Both new and used aircraft trading.
