With the aim of building on the success of the previous inaugural 2014 event, Heli UK Expo 2015 welcomed back a growing number of leading helicopter brands, suppliers and service providers within the industry, once again at an ideal central UK location, Sywell Aerodrome.

The event this year ran parallel to the leading International General Aviation event, AeroExpo UK, offering two sets of connected shows to both helicopter and fixed wing visitors. The combined events offered a unique experience to see a diverse exhibiting line up of Helicopters and full spectrum GA fixed wing aircraft, all in one location.

The whole weekend welcomed a combined number of around 200 Exhibitors, 10,000 visitors, around 75 visiting helicopters and 800 visiting fixed wing aircraft.

Show Director Alex Ayling commented;

“We are pleased with the growing momentum of Heli UK Expo. Compared to the first event last year, we are seeing growth not only in exhibitor numbers but also more importantly in visiting helicopter numbers too. It proves that the switch of dates and combined platform with AeroExpo UK works.

It underlines the need for an event like this for the industry and establishes Heli UK Expo as the ideal platform to all helicopter private owners and operators’ with unrestricted fly-in access to a central UK location here at Sywell Aerodrome.”

Working in partnership with the Helicopter Club of Great Britain, ‘The Heli UK Expo Challenge Cup’ Air Races took place once again over a 2 day thrilling spectacle which saw large supporting crowd for the increasingly popular spectacle.

This is only the second time this unique format of Air Races has been aired in the UK and is the first of this type of racing launched only previously in 2014.

The final event saw the UK take home the prize of first place with second and third.

Organisers of Heli UK Expo would like to thank its sponsors; Bell Helicopter, JLT Haywards Aviation, HQ Aviation, Sloane Helicopters, Bose UK and Helicopter Club of Great Britain for their support towards the 2015 event.

Work is already underway to further develop Heli UK Expo as the key event for the UK helicopter community to come together in 2016.
