Helicopter Services Malta has launched a services package for superyacht owners that features services such as helicopter sourcing, buying, staffing, maintaining, registering, and upgrading. CEO Alessandro Rostirolla, who has 20 years of private aviation experience, is heading the company along with CFO Samantha Snow, who has experience managing customer services in private banking.

 


“Historically, the helicopter business has been focused on technological excellence and the highest standards of safety—and rightly so. But the sector is fragmented and often lacks coordination from the point of view of clients. As a result, managing a helicopter has meant that they’ve had to work with a variety of different people,” said Rostirolla. “It’s for this reason that we’ve created a complete helicopter management solution with a focus on the kind of excellent customer service that high-net-worth individuals demand.”

 


The company has a team of trained technicians around the Mediterranean. Each member has access to maintenance technology but they are all connected through tablets that utilize cloud technology.

 


Although Helicopter Services Malta has locations in Italy, the company is focused on Malta. “The location is perfect for those with superyachts in the Mediterranean,” said Snow. “Malta also has a sophisticated but transparent financial services sector which, along with its tax regime, allows us to create the best finance packages for our clients.”
