Business aviation executives, manufacturers and operators are urged to note September 23 to 26 in their diaries, when a new industry event takes place in Cannes, France.

Heli Jet Show will be held at the Palais des Festivals and des Congres. The three-day event aims to bring together fractional ownership and charter operators, together with all the accompanying services involved in the industry.

Visitors will be able to travel to the Cannes-Mandelieu and Nice Cote d'Azur airports, which will be hosting the event, where they can see product exhibitions as well as ground and air demonstrations of business aircraft.

Alain Inard, president of NLC Events and general director of Heli Jet Show, said: "The increasing need of the major heads of industry to make their travels more cost-effective in an international context where time is of the essence has incited us to organise this private trade show. It will be dedicated to new contacts and professional encounters.

"It quickly became obvious to us that Cannes was the only possible place for our event. Not only is the city well-known as a prestigious and mythical place, it is also at the heart of extremely dynamic economic development in Europe, as well as being a major destination for business tourism."
