What Choice Did They Have? HAI Cancels Heli-Expo 2021

"We Took Extraordinary Steps To Be Able To Conduct A Safe Event."

After increases in the rumor mill about important cancellations by critical companies in the helicopter industry (Sikorsky, Bell, Airbus, Robinson, etc...), HAI has made the decision that was expected... Heli-Expo 2021 will not happen.

HAI Boss Jim Viola sents us a note explaining that, "HAI has made the difficult decision to cancel HAI HELI-EXPO 2021, scheduled for late March in New Orleans. Since the coronavirus pandemic began in early 2020, the HAI staff and our show partners have been working to carry out an in-person show while maintaining the health and safety of all participants. We took extraordinary steps to be able to conduct a safe event.

While some in our industry have urged us to carry on with the show, the majority have recently expressed discomfort with the logistics involved in business travel at this time. HAI appreciates hearing from our diverse VTOL community, and we are grateful for the honest feedback that we've received from our members, exhibitors, attendees, and other stakeholders."

Exhibitors will reportedly have multiple options for their booth payments, including pushing participation and payment to the 2022 show in Dallas, repurposing dollars to other HAI programs, or the issuance of a full refund. Current exhibitors will be contacted with additional details in the next week or so.

Registered attendees will receive a full refund, as will those who registered for HAI Professional Education courses. The housing vendor, onPeak, will cancel all hotel reservations booked within the HAI block. Registered attendees, HAI Professional Education course registrants, and those with hotel reservations within the HAI block will receive additional communication from HAI within the next 5-7 business days, as well.
