A lot has happened since Atlas Air Service successfully brokered a Cessna Citation CJ4 to Helsinki Citycopter at the beginning of the year. The Finnish company, headquartered in Helsinki, has been offering helicopters for charter flights for many years and has now added a CJ4 to its fleet at the beginning of 2024. Based on an acquisition agreement between them and the Atlas aircraft sales team, they found what Helsinki Helicopter was looking for and proudly handed over the new fleet member to them in January. Now there was a warm reunion at the Atlas Air Service stand at EBACE and an exciting exchange about the first flights and experiences with the CJ4. “The professional work of the Atlas sales team, the immediate search for the right aircraft and the smooth purchase process convinced us that we had made the right choice in buying a business jet with this team,” says Ari Kallinen, co-founder and flight operations manager of Helsinki Citycopter. “Our customers appreciate the new offer of being able to charter a business jet in addition to helicopters,” he continues.
"We are delighted that we were able to use our expertise to support Ari and his team in their search for their dream aircraft. Based on our experience, we have achieved significant savings for our customers in various projects, particularly in the selection and purchase negotiations,” says Hans Doll, Director Sales at Atlas Air Service. As a special thank you for the trust placed in Atlas, Hans Doll and his colleague Nadine Schirmer, Aircraft Sales Manager from the Atlas sales team, presented Ari Kallinen and his team with two personalized CJ4 models. This means that the new fleet member has now also arrived in Finland as a miniature version.
