Our Story

AEROHELICES is a certified Colombian propeller repair station created on October 1, 1964, by Mr. Juan Molinas Zarate in Bogotá, Colombia. Since then, it has rapidly grown to become one of Colombia's leading propeller repair stations.

Initially, the company was located at El Dorado International Airport and currently remains located in the same area where it continues to provide its services to Latin American aviation.

This company has more than 60 years of service to general aviation, air taxi operators, corporate and regional airlines. It has established a long-standing reputation within the aeronautical industry as a reliable, knowledgeable, and quality certified facility.
