Seastar Aviation Ltd.

Seastar Aviation Ltd. is a privately owned helicopter leasing company based in Canada. The site describes it as a boutique company that leases intermediate helicopters to operators. The office address listed on the site is 950 Alder Street in Campbell River, British Columbia.

The company says it leases helicopters to established and emerging operating companies. Its leasing programs can be customized to suit each operator. The site lists four reasons an operator may lease. Leasing can support fleet blending, tax planning, releasing equity, and changes in market demand.
