Paris (France), 6th October 2022,
Financière de Courcelles advised Compagnie Nationale de Navigation (CNN) on the sale of Héli-Union to Sabena Technics.
With 350 employees, Héli-Union is a European leader in the support and maintenance of helicopter fleets, serving governments and private clients worldwide. Currently active in six countries, Héli-Union is also a specialised air operator with its own fleet of helicopters.
