Business Description
For sale is a highly profitable aviation tourism business consisting of two entities, operating from two prime locations in the Southeast. With over 15 years of operating history, the company has built a strong reputation for safety, service, and customer experience, establishing a near-monopoly in a high-traffic tourist destination. A recent legal victory against local government authorities has secured long-term operational rights at the airport and its grandfathered helipad, protecting the business from new competitors and significantly enhancing its strategic value.
The company operates a fleet of four to five leased helicopters during peak season, generating over $14,000 per helicopter per day in gross revenue. The business achieves impressive margins thanks to lean operations, fixed-cost optimization, and ancillary revenue streams.
Staff retention is excellent, and the core management team is seasoned and largely self-sufficient, allowing the owner to operate the business passively. All helicopters are leased under a separate entity, allowing the buyer to avoid high capital expenditures and maintenance risks while benefiting from an efficient cost structure.
With highly defensible market positioning, a scalable operating model, and outstanding unit economics, the business offers an exceptional opportunity for investors seeking a lifestyle business, platform acquisition, or high-margin tourism asset.
