Rotortrade delivers H135 to Star Air of India

Rotortrade has  delivered an Airbus H135 T3 from Italy to India’s Star Air, which is the aviation arm of the Sanjay Ghodawat Group. The announcement was made during the Dubai Air Show.

The aircraft, sold in September 2025, is now fully operational in India, supporting Star Air’s expansion into high-value corporate and charter operations.

The helicopter broker coordinated with Airbus and Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to complete the Type Certificate revisin and Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) validation for the AAT VIP interior in just six weeks, usually the process can take many months to complete and deliver.

“This transaction is a reflection of what defines Rotortrade — precision, agility, and global teamwork,” said Aurélien Blanc, executive director and head of Region APAC (Asia Pacific) , MEA (Middle East and Africa and Africa) at Rotortrade. “Completing a complex international handover and dual certification in record time is not just a technical win, but a testament to our people. I would like to congratulate Vijay Sharma, Rotortrade sales manager, India for his dedication in leading this project to a successful outcome.”

“We are delighted to partner with Rotortrade for the acquisition of our Airbus H135. Their professionalism and swift execution have been outstanding. This milestone enables us to accelerate our foray into premium charter and corporate aviation, furthering Star Air’s commitment to delivering world-class air mobility in India,” said Simran Singh Tiwana, CEO, Star Air.

Rotortrade will continue its collaboration with Ghodawat Enterprises through a remarketing agreement for an H135 P2, managed exclusively by Rotortrade.
