Fundamental Advisors snaps up aerial services operator BlueSky Helicopters

Fundamental Advisors has acquired BlueSky Helicopters, a Southern California-based aerial services operator focused primarily on firefighting, utility services and other essential aviation services. No financial terms were disclosed.

BlueSky serves utility, government and public safety customers throughout the Western US. The company operates a fleet of five helicopters, including four Blackhawks and one Bell 407.

“BlueSky is exactly the type of business we are looking to partner with as we continue building our public service helicopter platform,” said Ryan Keane, senior managing director at Fundamental Advisors.

“The company has earned a strong reputation providing critical firefighting and utility services in one of the country’s most important public safety and infrastructure markets,” Keane added. “This acquisition meaningfully expands our presence in the Western U.S., strengthens our relationships with key utility and public safety customers and adds valuable maintenance and operational capabilities.”

Bryan Robinson serves as CEO of BlueSky Helicopters.
