GLOBAL SKY FORUM IN AUSTRALIA<br />
THE GLOBAL SKY FORUM<br />
– HELICOPTERS <strong>2023</strong><br />
By Alud Davies<br />
Fresh from organizing the inaugural<br />
Global <strong>Sky</strong> Forum – Business Aviation<br />
in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in February,<br />
and co-organizing the Mobility<br />
Forum during the Rotocraft Asia and<br />
Unmanned Systems Asia event in<br />
Singapore in May, the highly successful<br />
Global <strong>Sky</strong> Forum series will move<br />
to Brisbane, Australia, in September,<br />
where it will focus on helicopters.<br />
Australia was the logical choice to host the next Global <strong>Sky</strong> Forum,<br />
as it has the largest fleet of helicopters in Asia-Pacific. According<br />
to the latest Civil Helicopters Fleet Report, Australia had 967 civil<br />
registered turbine helicopters in its fleet at the end of 2022. As well<br />
as being the biggest market in the region, it is also the country that<br />
grew the most in 2022, having added a net 4% more helicopters to<br />
its fleet during the year.<br />
