Facilities
Keys Helicopter Tours is based out of Million Air’s General Aviation FBO which is a prime location as it is right off of the main road heading towards Key West. The lease is a one year lease for office space, hangar space, and front desk space. The office is fully furnished. 2018 Robinson R44 Raven II is optional to buy, asking $525,000 for helicopter. Billboard lease for advertising is included and can be assumed.
Competition
This is the only helicopter company from the upper to middle keys, with only one other helicopter tour operator located in Key West. Keys Helicopter Tours is located in a prime location, as it is right off the main highway road and easily seen/accessible. A billboard is located at an excellent location before entering marathon where tourists can see helicopter tours are offered there as well. The only things to do in Marathon is fishing or flying!
Growth & Expansion
There is a demand for a Part 135, as there is yet to be a part 135 helicopter charter company established here in the Florida Keys. KMTH is also expected to lengthen their runway to become a commercial airline which would allow for direct flights and increased tourism.
Support & Training
Pilot/owner willing to train and support.
Reason for Selling
Relocating for children’s sport opportunities
