I like it, there is not much else out there for us. I remember when Helinews asia-pacific magazine used to be a thing, would love reading that.

I remember when Rob used to produce Heli News monthly back in the late 90’s. I always used to look forward to it being In the mailbox.

Heli-News is still around - but with a new title.
Firstly, congratulations to the AHIA for updating industry on what they are doing in their second newsletter released in Feb 2021. Well done!
In their first edition released in Oct 2020, CEO Paul Tyrrell, advised industry they would be producing three per year. So this is a chance for AHIA members to lend a helping hand! The AHIA is heavily committed to the hosting the delayed Rotortech 2021 in June. Also, they will be supporting Avalon 2021 (also delayed) due COVID-19. So the AHIA executive is doing a lot for the industry and needs support from the helicopter community.
My second point is that following the collapse of the long running Heli-News after it was sold by Cranford Publications, I decided our industry still needed a point of focus, thus today we have Rotorcraft Asia-Pacific e-News which goes to just over 5,150 subscribers each month. (around 30 pages). But due to strong growth of the rotorcraft industry which now has an enormous drone group, I had to create Board Room Briefings for keeping track of future trends and their impact on the Asia-Pacific region. (25 pages). It is published two weeks after e-News 11 editions per year.
Both are available at no cost. So if you want to follow industry news from a different source; then just ask me (Rob Rich) via robsrich@bigpond.com. I was the original owner of Heli-News.

Rotorcraft Asia-Pacific e-News is still alive.
Our August Report will be sent out Fri 29 Aug 2025. It is complimentary.
It was once called Heli-News and was launched in September 1988.
Today we cover Indo-Pacific regions. Our readership is now well past 6,000. The July edition has an extensive update on AU and NZ lists.
BTW Indo-Pacific has 7,400 civilian helicopters. AU has 2,863 and NZ has 964 = 3,746.
This is 51% of the regions RW fleet. And enjoying a steady growth, Check out our July issue.
We like to share all FOC. Editor Rob Rich robsrich@bigpond.com
