Rotortrade debuts at Indonesian show
The global pre-owned helicopter dealer will further strengthen its regional presence following recent Bell 429 sale to PT Whitesky Aviation.
Rotortrade will engage with partners at HEXIA 2025 to support Southeast Asia’s rotorcraft market.

Rotortrade is to participate in HEXIA 2025 (Heli Expo Asia), taking place from 20–24 August 2025 at Cengkareng Heliport in Tangerang, Indonesia. This will be Rotortrade’s first official presence at HEXIA with its own booth, reinforcing the company’s strategy to increase regional visibility and proximity to partners and clients in Southeast Asia.

Coming soon after Rotortrade’s successful sale of a Bell 429 to PT Whitesky Aviation, this presence underscores the company’s commitment to Indonesia’s fast-evolving rotorcraft market and its long-standing cooperation with the Whitesky Group. The event provides an opportunity to build on this momentum and further engage with stakeholders across the region.

“Being at HEXIA reflects our mission to connect with clients and partners where they are, locally, in their markets and on their terms,” says Aurelien Blanc, head of region APAC, ME and Africa at Rotortrade. “Our recent activity in Indonesia confirms the relevance of this market, and we’re proud to support our partners on the ground while continuing to grow our presence across Southeast Asia.”

Organised by the Whitesky Group, HEXIA 2025 is a regional B2B and public-facing aviation event highlighting developments in rotorcraft and air mobility. With an expected audience of over 20,000 participants and representation from more than 15 countries, HEXIA offers a valuable platform for industry engagement and relationship-building.

“We are thrilled to welcome Rotortrade to HEXIA 2025,” says Denon Prawiraatmadja, CEO of Whitesky Group and chairman of INACA. “Its presence highlights the international confidence in Indonesia’s aviation sector and reflects the strong ties we continue to build through this event.”

Rotortrade says it looks forward to welcoming visitors at booth no. B3–B4, and continuing to support the growth of the rotorcraft ecosystem in Southeast Asia through direct local engagement.
