European Rotors 2024, held last week in Amsterdam by the European Helicopter Association (EHA) and EASA, attracted more than 4,600 participants and focused on safety advancements and emerging technologies, with a particular emphasis on eVTOL aircraft. Speakers at the event addressed pressing topics such as safety protocols and the integration of digital technologies into rotorcraft operations.
“The 2024 edition of European Rotors was a great success,” said EHA board chair Fredrik Kämpfe. “The exhibition floor was filled with enthusiastic people, and the feedback we received was very positive.” Kampfe pointed to the educational program, Career Day, and the large turnout for workshops and best practice sessions as indicative of the event’s success.
There were more than 230 booths and 18 helicopters displayed in the exhibition hall. Highlights of the show included the EASA Safety Symposium, which addressed regulatory compatibility and urban air mobility, as well as workshops on rotorcraft safety and efficiency.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Networking opportunities also were a major draw, with industry leaders and regulatory bodies engaging face-to-face. “We held a technical briefing here at the show that was significantly stronger and more detailed due to being in-person,” said EHA vice chair Thierry Couderc.
