Aircraft Salvage and Retrieval

Helicorp has several years experience in the salvage and retrieval of damaged aircraft from the harsh jungle terrain of Costa Rica and Central America. Our team utilizes an array of equipment and personnel to aid in the retrieval of damaged aircraft destined for repair or transport to appropriate repair facilities such as ours. From heavy-lift helicopters to flatbed trucks to our rapid response team of experienced mechanics.

Helicorp has the resources to immediately extract damaged aircraft while salvage value still exists. All retrievals are documented in hi-definition video along with digital pictures and archived for record keeping. In addition, we have the capability to provide secure, short or long term storage for insurance investigations and are experienced in the prepping and shipping of heavy containers should the need exist.

Aircraft and Helicopter rebuilds are Helicorp's specialty. In today's world with an extremely limited supply of reasonably priced aircraft or helicopters the demand has never been greater. Statistics show that most major manufacturers are reporting delivery dates two to three years from today for current order placements. The price of late model used aircraft and helicopters in high demand, such as the Bell 206 Jet Ranger or Augusta 109, has skyrocketed prompting buyers to consider other options such as total rebuilds.

Because we operate Central America's only small aircraft free trade zone we are able to import and export goods and services to and from our facility duty free.
