The Civil Helicopter fleet in India
has recorded unprecedented growth from mere 185 during
2007-08 to 290 in 2008-2009 despite challenges in
operating and fiscal bottlenecks. The rapid growth
of the civil helicopter fleet has created a crying
need for training facilities for both pilots and Engineers.
There is a need for efficient weather reporting system,
tracking and communication facilities. There is also
a need for Public Use heliports with basic infrastructure.
On the Day 2 of the Seminar, there will be paper presentations
& discussions on the Prospects & Challenges in Commercial
Usage of civil helicopters in India by various stakeholders.
At the Inaugural Session of the Seminar on 13 February,
besides keynote addresses, we propose to honour the
civil rotary wing aviation professionals for their
contribution to the Industry. When the Technical Sessions
are in Progress in the Auditorium, sponsors of the
Seminars will be given opportunity to present their
Products & Services (including new helicopters, systems
and devices for enhancing ops effectiveness) to the
key functionaries of major users, corporate and present
& potential helicopter operators at the Conference
Room.
