Examining the Future of the Helicopter Market and Leasing at European Rotors HI Finance Forums

The upcoming European Rotors event in Madrid, Spain will host two Helicopter Investor Finance Forums that will delve into the future of the global helicopter market and the latest trends in helicopter leasing. Taking place on Wednesday November 29th, these forums promise to provide valuable insights into the industry.

The first forum, titled “The State of the Market in 2024,” will be a deep dive into the future of the global helicopter market. With discussions on whether the rising demand for offshore energy supplies will continue to drive industry growth, as well as the impact of supply chain challenges, and the implications of Air Methods’ decision to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, attendees can expect a comprehensive overview of the industry. Experts such as Sara Dhariwal, senior aviation analyst at Ascend by Cirium, David Martin, segment specialist at Offshore, Bell Flight, Clark McGinn, principal of Uplifting Advice, and Will Sturm, vice president of Sales at Aero Asset will shed light on these pressing issues.

The second forum, “The Future of Helicopter Leasing,” will focus on dissecting the key trends in helicopter leasing. Panellists will provide insights into the offerings for operators by lessors, a helicopter’s economic life, and a lessor’s perspective on advanced air mobility (AAM). This session will feature prominent figures such as Con Barber, chief investment officer at Macquarie, Nigel Leishman, chief commercial officer at LCI, and Pat Sheedy, president and CEO at Milestone Aviation.

Both forums will be held on Wednesday November 29th in the Quiet Conference Area of the European Rotors main hall, with the first forum starting at 15:30 CET and the second at 16:45 CET. For those interested in posing questions to the panel or seeking further information about the forums, inquiries can be directed to Mike Stones. For those unable to attend, full reports from both forums will be available to read on Helicopter Investor early next month.

European Rotors, organized by the European Helicopter Association (EHA) and Helicopter Association International (HAI), is a prominent event in the industry. With more than 24 rotorcraft on display, the event serves as a hub for discussions and interactions between rotorcraft manufacturers, suppliers, and operators. The four-day event will commence on Monday November 27th at the IFEMA Madrid Fair Centre, Hall 9.

The European Rotor HI Finance Forums will feature distinguished speakers sharing their insights on the state of the market in 2024 and the future of helicopter leasing. From senior aviation analysts to chief investment officers, the forums will provide invaluable knowledge to all those in attendance. With such a diverse range of expertise, the forums are set to be a must-attend event for anyone involved in the helicopter industry.
