“This acquisition provides Directional Aviation with an end-to-end private flying experience and establishes the company as a vertical flight leader,” commented Oliver Althoff, Managing Director & Head of North America, Seabury Corporate Finance.

The team leveraged Seabury Capital’s significant M&A and capital raising background in many aviation and aerospace subsegments, including the helicopter segment, which represents one of the company’s core capabilities with an extensive track record.
