HeliValue$ Inc

While many aviation appraisal firms exist, HeliValue$ differentiates itself with a specific focus on the helicopter industry, having specialized in this sector for the past forty-seven years. With the aid of our publication, The Official Helicopter Blue Book®, we have consistently led the development and refinement of helicopter valuation processes.

Our unwavering commitment to helicopter values is unparalleled, as it is our sole area of expertise. Over four decades of service have allowed us to gain a profound understanding of the helicopter industry, aviation finance, and leasing.

We proudly conduct nearly 2,500 helicopter appraisals each year, showcasing our capabilities. Additionally, we maintain a global network of qualified onsite asset verification representatives to support our operations.

We believe in transparency; all our appraisal fees and any available discounts are clearly outlined on our website. As an independent third party, we guarantee that our appraisals are objective and free from any involvement in the buying or selling of aircraft.
