From May 16-18, HAI President Matt Zuccaro and Chairman Chris Erickson represented HAI at the International Helicopter Industry Exhibition HeliRussia 2013 at the Crocus Expo Center in Moscow.

HeliRussia is the only international exhibition in Russia where companies from Russia and other countries present world achievements in every helicopter industry segment, from design and manufacture to operation.

Throughout the show, Zuccaro and Erickson manned the HAI booth, and met with HAI members, exhibitors, and leaders of the Russian helicopter industry.

Zuccaro gave a presentation on safety issues to the Russian operator community and met with members of the Russian International Helicopter Safety Team. He also participated in an international panel discussing the status of the current helicopter market.

HAI has supported HeliRussia since its inception six years ago, and has witnessed its growth year on year. HAI has also enjoyed working with the Russian helicopter industry to develop a Pavilion of Russian Exhibitors at HAI HELI-EXPO^®.
