Vertical Aviation International and the European Helicopter Association have extended their collaboration to produce EUROPEAN ROTORS through the Milan 2027 edition, with both organisations also committing to continue the partnership through 2032. The agreement secures continuity for Europe’s leading vertical aviation trade show as it prepares for its next edition in Lyon, France, from 30 November to 3 December 2026.
The two associations have worked together on EUROPEAN ROTORS since the event was founded in 2021, building a transatlantic partnership around the annual show and safety conference. The renewal keeps the event structure in place for helicopter, eVTOL and wider vertical-lift stakeholders, while preserving the existing role of VAI and EHA in its production.
The next Lyon edition will be held at Eurexpo, with exhibits open from 1 to 3 December. The extension does not include disclosed financial terms or wider changes to the event’s commercial framework.
