Defence IQ endeavours to ensure accuracy wherever possible, but errors are often unavoidable. We encourage readers to contact us if they note any need for amendments or updates. We accept no responsibility for the use or application of this information. We suggest that readers contact the specific government and military programme offices if seeking to confirm the reliability of any data. 1 MARKET OVERVIEW Broadly speaking, the global helicopter market is currently facing a two- pronged assault. The military helicopter segment has been impacted significantly by continued defense budgetary pressures across most traditional markets, and a recent slide in global crude oil prices has impacted the demand for new civil helicopters as well as the level of activity for existing fleets engaged in the offshore oil & gas exploration sector. This situation has impacted industry OEMs significantly, many of which had been working towards strengthening the civil helicopter segment to partially offset the impact of budgetary cuts on the military segment. However, the medium- to long-term view of the market is promising given the presence of strong fundamentals and persistent, sustainable growth drivers. The market for military helicopters in particular is set to cross a technological threshold in the form of next-generation compound helicopters and tilt rotorcraft.

    CFASPP Continuing Florida Aviation System Planning Process ________________________________________________________________________________________________ SOUTHEAST FLORIDA METROPOLITAN AREA CHRIS MCARTHUR, CHAIR September 14, 2010 Dear Committee Members, Advisors, and Participants, Subject: SOUTHEAST FLORIDA METROPOLITAN AREA CFASPP Committee Meeting Date/Time: Tuesday, September 28, 2010 at 10:00 AM. Location: Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, Administration Conference Room It’s hard to believe that we are once again nearing the end of another year in Florida aviation. Participants that attended our last Statewide meeting in Tampa were treated to an enlightening presentation that highlighted the significant infrastructure improvements that will be required to support aviation growth in Florida over the next fifty years. Unfortunately airport sponsors will likely find it difficult to meet these demands as revenue streams and capital budgets continue to fall. I hope that you will make time to attend and participate in the discussions at our next regional meeting as we cover several important topics affecting aviation in Florida. Our next meeting will be held on September 28, 2010 in the Administration Conference Room at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport beginning at 10:00 AM. CFASPP Round 2010-3 will conclude with a Statewide Committee meeting on November 10th at Tampa International Airport. As always, if you have an item that you would like added to the agenda for discussion by the regional committee, please let me know prior to our scheduled meeting date. If you should have any questions or concerns prior to the meeting, please feel free to let me know or you may contact Dan Afghani, CFASPP Administrator via e-mail at [email protected].

  • Miami Seaplane Base (X44)
    THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF Miami Seaplane Base (X44) Aviation’s Benefit for Florida Florida’s economic well-being is intrinsically entwined with its vibrant airport system and its robust aviation industry. The aviation system in Florida allows the state to capitalize on an increasingly global marketplace. Aviation in Florida both sustains and leads economic growth and development. Airports in Florida are important economic engines, and support vital health, welfare, emergency, and safety-related services. Florida’s system of commercial service and general aviation airports are important to businesses throughout the state. Air travel is essential to tourism, Florida’s number one industry. Protecting and investing in airports throughout Florida will support the aviation industry and the economic benefits described in this report. With continued support, Florida’s dynamic aviation system will continue to provide a significant economic return in the years to come. Florida Department of Transportation Aviation and Spaceports Office www.dot.state.fl.us/aviation X44 Florida’s Statewide Benefits from Aviation Miami Seaplane Base Located near the southern tip of the Miami Beach peninsula, Miami Seaplane Florida realizes significant annual economic benefits from aviation. The Florida Base serves as a fixed base operator (FBO) for seaplanes and seaplane tours.
