Helicopters in Sao Paulo: Robinson. July 2011

Robinsons at Helipark outside Sao Paulo.

There are 300 R22s and R44s in Sao Paulo, and 450 in the whole of Brazil. A large percentage of the 1538 registered helicopters in the country.

I was told that when Marco Audi, the President of Audi Helicopters, heard that Robinson had brought out a small helicopter (the R22) he got onto the first flight to California to ask Frank Robinson for the dealership in Brazil. An extremely successful decision as history shows.

Comandante Hamilton's ENG R44 taking off from Helipark to monitor the traffic going in and out of Sao Paulo. Hamilton said he used to have a AS350, but when the Robinson company brought out the R44 he changed as the profit margin is so much better.
