Voyager Interests has taken control of Rotorcraft Leasing Company, a helicopter operator based in Broussard, Louisiana. The deal transfers ownership from Bluehenge Capital Partners and a group of undisclosed investors. While the purchase price remains private, the acquisition adds more than 30 purpose-built helicopters and six land‑based bases serving offshore Gulf Coast and California clients to Voyager’s portfolio effective today.

Rotorcraft Leasing Company operates a fleet of over 30 helicopters stationed at six strategic locations, enabling it to service offshore oil platforms and California’s energy sector. The operator’s niche focus on aircraft gives it a competitive edge in markets where reliability and rapid deployment are critical. Voyager’s entry broadens its exposure to the aviation services segment for investors.

The transaction underscores growing private‑equity interest in specialized aviation assets that support energy infrastructure. By consolidating RLC’s regional presence, Voyager can leverage economies of scale and negotiate better terms with oil‑and‑gas operators. With no disclosed valuation, investors will watch how the combined entity improves utilization rates and profitability in a sector that remains resilient despite broader market volatility for shareholders.
