About Heliquip
We Have a Long and Successful History
Heliquip was incorporated in the Republic of South Africa on the 5th April 1967 as Heliquip (Proprietary) Limited, as a helicopter consultancy and helicopter sales company.
Initially it operated one Hughes 269B helicopter under the operating licenses of Transair (Pty.) Ltd. During 1972 it negotiated the establishment of the heliport at Rand Airport on a vacant island behind the terminal building and in the same year signed agreements with OFEMA in Paris to represent the French helicopter manufacturer, SNIAS which became the Aerospatiale Helicopter Division and today Airbus.

“Heliquip” is a boutique Professional Helicopter/Fixedwing Advisor, Helicopter and Fixed Wing Sales, Helicopter and Fixed Wings Leasing, Management and Operational (AOC) Oversight, Spares and Maintenance Logistics.
We work closely with our clients who are as varied as the entire aviation spectrum.
We take their anonymity and confidentiality very seriously and have worked with Royalty, Heads of State, global corporations and entrepreneurs.
We have assisted clients to buy and lease helicopters, to develop business plans and feasibility studies for helicopter operation, and to set operation oversight.
Most commonly, following an initial assessment of the client’s needs, Heliquip is engaged to develop, locate and supply, commercially viable aviation solutions.
As the client’s agent, Heliquip will source suitable aircraft, negotiate the lease or purchase, manage the pre-delivery inspections or maintenance, and even assist with the supply and training of the crew.
We have access to “off-market” aircraft and specialist financiers. Out of necessity, we have to filter and pre-qualify both buyers and sellers, including requiring some due-diligence information
