Investec Supporting offshore aviation growth
Our role
Investec provided a tailored financing solution to Ultimate Aviation Group for the acquisition of two Leonardo AW139 helicopters, supporting the expansion of its offshore operations in the North Sea. The aircraft are scheduled to enter service from late 2026.
The helicopters will enhance Ultimate’s ability to deliver offshore crew transport and critical aviation services in one of the world’s most demanding operating environments.
The transaction reflects a flexible and responsive funding approach in a market characterised by constrained aircraft supply and extended delivery timelines.
This marks Investec’s first transaction with Ultimate’s UK business, establishing a new client relationship and reinforcing its capability to structure bespoke financing solutions in specialist aviation segments.
“We specialise in performing air services in remote, austere and difficult working environments, providing turn-key operations in many challenging areas,” says Ultimate Aviation Group CEO Shaun Roseveare.
