If helicopter sales at this year’s Heli-Expo had been any better, there might have been an executive conga line snaking its way through the exhibit floor today. Sales reported as of late yesterday had surpassed $732 million, $112 million more than at the same point in the show last year.
If any single OEM is in a position to kick sand, it is Eurocopter (Booth No. 1833). The company reported record sales of 61 aircraft valued at about $432 million, including a hefty order for 30 EC 225 Super Pumas, 16 of which will go to CHC Helicopter of Vancouver, British Columbia. An order for 10 EC 130Bs was placed by Maverick Helicopters of Las Vegas for use in the company’s air-tour operations.
