The Helicopter Association International’s 2018 edition of Heli-Expo in Las Vegas is shaping up to be another record-breaker with the floor nearly sold out by mid-January, association executives said. While still too early to tell—president and CEO Matt Zuccaro emphasizes that that the final numbers will not be known until “we’re sitting in Vegas”—early metrics such as registrations, floor space, and hotel rooms booked by mid-January were all pointing to a show that could surpass last year’s tallies.
