In 1996, Eastern Atlantic set out to be the
premiere helicopter distributor for Enstrom and MD Helicopters
in the UK and Europe.
Continued investment in personnel, equipment, and hangar space
has supported our achievements
The Sales Department is made up of four experienced and knowledgeable
individuals, two of which are licensed commercial pilots themselves.
The company has a stunning carpeted showroom hangar. And a
relaxing lounge and meeting room upstairs so we can make you
feel more than comfortable should we have the pleasure of your
