T HAI HELI-EXPO 2020 IN ANAHEIM, California, newly appointed HAI President and CEO James A. Viola announced the association’s commitment to increase international collaboration within the


vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) industry. A key piece of that initiative, HAI’s International Partnership Program (IPP), was announced on Jun. 30, 2020. By bringing together the leaders of global helicopter


organizations, the IPP promotes common safety and oper- ational standards as well as best practices through collabo- ration. Program participants gather in a quarterly virtual meeting to discuss regional, operational, and global concerns ranging from regulations and standardization to topical


issues such as firefighting or the coronavirus pandemic. “In this first year, the IPP is focused on big-picture items,


providing leaders of helicopter associations around the world a platform to share their input, advice, and observations on the issues facing their members,” says HAI Senior Director of Operations and International Affairs Chris Martino, who coordinates the program. In the first nine months, HAI’s IPP program has expanded


to include the Chilean Helicopter Association (ACHHEL), Australian Helicopter Industry Association (AHIA), British Helicopter Association (BHA), Helicopter Association of Southern Africa (HASA), European Helicopter Association (EHA), Helicopter Association of Canada (HAC), Rotary Wing Society of India (RWSI), and Association for Promotion
