After a year’s absence due to the pandemic, Heli-Expo returns this week in Dallas with a full program that includes nearly 600 exhibits, dozens of safety programs, and educational sessions, along with new features such as helicopter commuter flights to and from the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas, where the show is being held.

Helicopter Association International (HAI) president and CEO Jim Viola was encouraged that despite complexities associated with the pandemic, the metrics were pointing in the right direction leading up to this year’s event. More than 500 exhibitors had signed on by last month and that number continued to grow as the convention neared.
