Key Takeaways:

Schweizer has launched an "OEM Certified Helicopters Program" to offer factory-refreshed S300CBi helicopters at a more affordable price point.
The program aims to revive the existing S300CBi fleet by accepting used aircraft, regardless of airworthiness, and replacing key components like engines, blades, and interiors.
Customers can trade in older Schweizers for either a discount on a new helicopter or a percentage of the sale price.
Aircraft undergo either a "refreshed" process for low-time models or a more extensive "refurbished" process, both backed by a one-year/1,000-hour warranty.
