EUROPE PROFILE: HELICOPTER<br />
There has been two transaction peaks in the helicopter market<br />
over the latest three-year period. During May 2021, transactions<br />
for Single helicopters increased sharply, especially for the Bell<br />
206, Eurocopter AS350B3e, and Eurocopter EC120B. These models<br />
were in high demand among European operators utilizing them for<br />
charter and multi-missions roles.<br />
The second transaction peak occurred in April 2022 when transactions<br />
for Medium Twin helicopters notably increased, especially for models<br />
such as the AW139, Bell 412, and S-76C/C++.<br />
