PHI TOUCHES DOWN AT HAI-HELI EXPO

Another successful Heli-Expo in the books! After months of careful organization and planning, our team was thrilled to be at Heli-Expo.

In early March we made our way to Dallas, Texas, to attend Helicopter Aviation International (HAI) Heli-Expo 2022, one of the most coveted events in the heli-aviation calendar.

The event was attended by over 13,000 industry professionals and there were nearly 600 exhibitors on the show floor with many of our customers and competitors in attendance. The inperson event was a particular highlight for many in the industry, especially after the Expo was canceled in 2021 due to COVID.

After months of careful organization and planning, our team was thrilled to be at Heli-Expo. This was the first time PHI had a booth to promote our global operations and our full suite of innovative services. With a brand-new state-of-the-art booth design, the team was a standout on the show floor and welcomed hundreds of visitors who dropped by. Those visiting the booth were interested in finding out more about our wide range of services including marine pilot transfer, passenger transportation, search and rescue function and our industryleading MRO capabilities.

The team had a packed three days, with a busy meeting schedule connecting with a range of key players in the industry who traveled from around the world to be at Heli-Expo.

Alongside all the business development activities, we also made several major announcements.

With our partners at Airbus, Shell and SEPCO, we announced our intention to use sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for our H160 operations in the Gulf of Mexico.

This is a significant step for PHI and its partners and was incredibly well received by the industry. This announcement is particularly timely for us with the recent release of our global Sustainability Plan. Exploring opportunities for decarbonization through the use of SAF is one of the key components of our strategy and, in time, we hope to use the H160 as a blueprint to explore how we can further utilize it across our fleet in collaboration with our other customers and partners.

We also announced the expansion of our Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) services.

We’re excited to strengthen our focus on our industry-leading MRO capabilities and promote these comprehensive, turnkey services to our customers and partners across the globe. We know our teams deliver expert services to maintain our own fleet of helicopters, and we’re proud to extend these services to an even wider market. This increased focus on our MRO services is also a core part of our diversification strategy and complements our work in energy, search and rescue, air medical and marine pilot transfer services.

Our attendance at Heli-Expo was a great success and thanks must go to our teams on the ground and the wider organization committee for their tireless work in ensuring PHI’s presence at the event was well executed.

Our success at Heli-Expo and as a company, in no small part, goes to each and every member of our team. We heard from numerous customers, partners and industry supporters that PHI is a breath of fresh air in a challenging landscape. It’s our collective hard work and unwavering commitment to our core values that keep us positioned as the global leader.
