Ordering a brand new airframe may involve a delay and cost that is unjustified, if a suitable existing airframe becomes available.
Many low hours machines offer a viable alternative, provided good project management is on hand to bring the airframe up to the standards of equipment fit required by the new owner.
Starspeed has successfully sourced and project managed the importation, refit and re-registration of several high value helicopters in recent years.
All these projects have achieved the objectives successfully, and delivered pleasing results for their new owners.
