Statements:
Matthew S. Zuccaro
President
Helicopter Association International
>> The ILA HeliCenter is a good venue for us to meet our members and to explain to the international helicopter community that is meeting here, what our priorities are and what we do. And we also offer any assistance we can to any segment in the industry.
There are operators here from the United States, from Europe, from the East, from the South – I think this is a place where everybody congregates to meet each other and to share a network. So it has proved its worth and it is occurring that it is a gateway to the East. <<
Sergei I. Sikorsky
Vice President (Ret.)
Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation
>> The German Army Aviators’ demonstration of ten CH-53 helicopters at ILA was a particular highlight for me. Cooperation between the German Army Aviation and Sikorsky goes as far back as the 1950s. Sikorsky had already been an exhibitor at ILA when it was held in Hanover. I am convinced that ILA will continue to be a perfect place for Sikorsky to maintain contacts and to win new friends. <<
Dr. Lutz Bertling
President and CEO
Eurocopter
Member of the EADS Executive Committee
>> This year we are very pleased with the international customer presence. The performance of the partner country India was very good. We were able to make many additional contacts with India. But customers from Europe and even Japanese clients were also present. <<
