Your country not represented?
Want to get involved with an event of your own on the day?
Its not too late.
Send your details through
Worldhelicopterday.com The site has resources such as a press release template, graphics and children's colouring-in cartoon.
This is an opportunity to open up your business/organisation and invite members of the public in to see and touch a helicopter and to talk to people in the industry.
You could hold a safety day, open day, a BBQ - its completely up to you - but it gives you a story that you can take to the local media to get free
PR and exposure.
There is no charge to be involved. It is company agnostic - the day is not tied to any manufacture and has no agenda other than to provide something for the industry to pull around together to celebrate and shout about what we do.
