About Us

WELCOME TO ROTOCRAFT MARKET

Your aircraft connection in Japan.

We are experienced helicopter specialists based in Tokyo. For more than 25 years we have been in the helicopter business: buying, selling, and performing maintenance, repair and overhauls (MRO). We have built an extensive network of helicopter operators, mechanics, technicians and enthusiasts over the years. Now, with this site, we wish to make it easier for operators all over the world to get access to reliable helicopters on auction within Japan.

OUR ADVANTAGES

We are an established authorized buyer of aircraft in Japan, dealing in aircraft from:

  • Private
  • Commercial
  • and Government operators

We keep a close eye on all the helicopter operators in Japan, and know which ones are likely to go on auction next. We are experts at pricing, and know how much the operators are likely to bid on a particular helicopter. We’ve aggregated data from helicopter sales since we’ve started doing business, giving us an edge in bidding in this competitive market. Remember, you’re only allowed one bid, so it’s important not only to bid enough to win the auction, but to win it by as little as possible.

We also fully support the delivery of the aircraft to its final destination. We have a lot of experience in arranging logistics to and from Japan. We ensure your helicopter will arrive safely by the method you prefer.

  • On this site, we focus on buying and selling of helicopters that come out from major Japanese helicopter operators, either government, commercial or private.
  • We can reach out to major Japanese helicopter operators and provide information to you about what type of helicopters are expected to come out when and from whom.
  • As soon as a helicopter comes out for sale, usually by tender, we will provide all essential information about the helicopter, for us to come up with the right price.
  • Dealers in Japan need special permission to bid in these auctions. We have all the rights to participate in the tenders organized by the Japanese government. We will take care of all the necessary processes and participate in the tender on your behalf, with minimal red tape.
  • We have been in this business for more than 25 years.
  • We specialize in Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO).

We have built a strong network within and outside of Japan not only through dealing in helicopter trading or maintaining our own fleet, but also by MRO business and support over the years for customers mostly within Japan.
