Sloane Helicopters, the prominent UK and Ireland dealer for the Robinson Helicopter Company, is excited to announce the acquisition of six delivery positions for new Robinson helicopters, with the first expected in February 2025. This order encompasses four R44 helicopters and two R66 helicopters, further reinforcing Sloane’s unwavering confidence in the Robinson range of helicopters.
With a trusted reputation as a Robinson dealer spanning over 48 years, Sloane has played a fundamental role in shaping the UK and Ireland helicopter market. The enduring relationship dates back to 1979 when Sloane’s Chairman, David George, imported the first R22 into Europe. This historic milestone signifies a robust partnership between the two companies and emphasises Sloane’s dedication to offering the world’s most popular civil helicopters to the market.
By securing these positions, Sloane’s aim is to stimulate the market by providing its customer base with early access to these highly sought-after production slots, ensuring efficient order fulfilment with reduced lead times.
David George, Chairman of Sloane Helicopters, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "We are thrilled to announce the placing of orders for six deliveries for Robinson Helicopters in 2025. Our longstanding partnership with Robinson and our commitment to delivering exceptional service to our customers have been pivotal in securing these positions, and we look forward to proactively working with David Smith and the Robinson team over the coming years."
Securing these positions not only strengthens Sloane’s partnership with Robinson, but it also underscores the Company’s dedication to meeting the needs of its customers. The early delivery positions will enable Sloane to continue providing unparalleled service and support to its clients across the UK and Ireland.
