Description
Since the 1980's the BA model AS350 has been quietly getting on with breaking down barriers of resistance in the global Helicopter industry for what is now the world's favorite intermediate class utility platform.
The capability of the BA in direct competition to the Bell Jet Ranger and Long Ranger shook up the US and Canadian markets making the open plan cabin and smooth 3-per vibe a contract winner for any commercial operator looking for a point of difference. The dominance of AIRBUS today owes a debt of gratitude to the AS350BA and the fact that hundreds of the type are still flying either as organic BA models or as airframes upgraded to the B2, is testament to the durability and value operators place in these excellent helicopters.
This particular ship has been in private ownership for decades and testifies to a owner's attention to detail and open cheque book for maintenance and repair. Despite the great paint and leather interior, this machine has outstanding times remaining on the engine (+75% life remaining)which will afford the next owner the opportunity to acquire a turn-key VIP helicopter with little to worry about for years.
