HI Uplift: Heli help for a planet ‘literally on fire'. (Shame about rates) Demand for firefighting helicopters has never been greater. Both the number and intensity of wildfires worldwide is fuelling the need for more aerial support – both rotary wing and fixed wing. The trouble is that prices and terms of many rotary firefighting contracts are too low to justify investment, according to the panel dedicated to the topic at our Helicopter & VTOL Investor conference. When António Guterres, secretary-general, United Nations warned the planet is “literally on fire”, he wasn’t speaking exclusively about wildfires. But he might have been. What were separate seasons in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere – enabling assets to relocate between the two – have now merged, says Jason Diniz, president of lessor Eagle Copters. “We are now seeing firefighting seasons that exist way past previous timelines to the point where you can’t really move assets between the Northern and Southern hemispheres,” he said. “It’s now a 365-day fire season and that’s caused a lot of issues.” Support came from Kate Grammer, regional business development lead, FIREHAWK and Advanced Concepts, Sikorsky. “It’s obvious to most of us that fires have become larger, more frequent and more intense and we are seeing demand correlate with that directly,” she said. “We might not see assets put into action as quickly as we would like.” There’s no doubting demand but contract terms are braking investment, according to our panellists. The size of the problem was described by Frederic Goig, senior director to Aero Asset. “When you launch a tender in Spain for 45 aircraft and nobody answers – that’s a sign,” said Goig. Diniz, at Eagle Copters, agreed. “Firefighting rates have been extremely low compared with mission profiles,” he said. “That has put a massive crunch in terms of operators achieving sustainable profitability. They have to claw every cent and dollar to keep running their organisation.” But there is optimism about the length of contracts. Many are offered annually with yearly renewal. Recently though, reflecting the demand supply imbalance, state agencies are starting to offer five-year contracts. “It’s not happening across the globe,” said Diniz. “But it is happening in areas where they really need [firefighting] assets like Spain and the US.” Goig called for rate increases of 50% or more to generate sustainable profits for helicopter operators to thrive not just survive in the market. Diniz said it was hard to identify just one rate increase, as his company leased helicopters for firefighting missions worldwide. “I would say anywhere from 20% to 40% at least, depending on the cost of operations in those centres,” he added.
