Como cada año desde 2021, el evento European Rotors volvió a celebrarse del 4 al 7 de noviembre, esta vez en Ámsterdam para una feria de 3 días. Este evento internacional dedicado a los helicópteros acogió a más de 230 expositores que representaban a más de 80 países. Además de este evento B2B, coorganizado por la Asociación Europea de Helicópteros (EHA) y la Agencia Europea de Seguridad Aérea (EASA) y producido por Vertical Aviation International (VAI), el salón acogió el prestigioso Simposio sobre seguridad de aeronaves de rotor y VTOL de la EASA. Este acontecimiento puso de relieve las últimas innovaciones en materia de seguridad aeronáutica, crucial para el futuro del helicóptero. Tras asistir al salón como visitante en la 3ª edición de Madrid, este año JJGK Aero fue expositor en el Centro de Convenciones Rai de Ámsterdam. Michel Augen, Director General, Alexis Tierny, socio gerente, Cédric Bousquet, nuestro nuevo servicio de atención al cliente, Florian Morata, agente de la oficina técnica de pintura, y Margot Leroux, asistente ejecutiva, le dieron la bienvenida a nuestro stand y destacaron nuestra experiencia como centro de MRO especializado en la gama Super Puma. El salón estuvo salpicado de sesiones de formación, seminarios, talleres y encuentros con las principales figuras de la industria aeronáutica, lo que brindó la oportunidad de descubrir las últimas innovaciones y soluciones ofrecidas por los principales actores del sector. Ofreció a todos los participantes una oportunidad única de profundizar sus conocimientos y reforzar sus relaciones profesionales. Tuvimos el placer de recibir a nuestro socio Ixarys Tracing Flight con Patrick Hyppolite y Baptiste Vignes. Estos fructíferos intercambios refuerzan nuestra colaboración y abren grandes perspectivas de futuro. También fue la ocasión de formalizar nuestra asociación con Westair Helicopters para las operaciones de mantenimiento del helicóptero H225. Esta asociación estratégica marca un momento importante en nuestro crecimiento y en el fortalecimiento de nuestra red internacional. ¡Nos vemos en noviembre de 2025 en Colonia para la 5ª edición de European Rotors!
8 years after the historic international air meet, the Istres Air Base 125 reopens its doors to the public to showcase the fascinating world of military and civilian aviation during the last weekend of September 2024. This weekend was marked by celebrations, including the 90th anniversary of the French Air and Space Force, the 60th anniversary of the Strategic Air Forces, and the 80th anniversary of the liberation and landing in Provence. This major sold-out event attracted nearly 50,000 visitors over two days, offering everyone the opportunity to discover simulations and demonstrations of professions and equipment, static displays including the legendary A330 MRTT and Boeing KC-135, as well as the unmissable air show. Twice a day, all eyes turned to the sky to admire the aerial ballet. During this show, the public was able to discover many legendary aircraft such as the Rafale Solo Display, the A400M Tactical Display, the mythical Patrouille de France, the Requin Mike patrols (Rafale), as well as parachutists from the Phénix team and acrobats from the aerobatic team. Our directors, partners, and collaborators had the opportunity to enjoy front-row access to the runway thanks to our VIP chalet. This unique opportunity allowed them to enjoy the air show and meet emblematic figures from the world of aviation. Upon arrival at the site, visitors were able to directly discover the iconic Hangar Mercure and, at its heart, our activity. Florian Morata, technical painting office agent, Cameron Dremeau, B2 avionics technician, Orlane Bernadet, quality manager assistant, Hamza Amine, technical office agent, Patrick Jourdain, storekeeper, David Dagnet, HR manager, and Charlotte Pelletier, communication manager, were on hand to present JJGK Aero, their expertise, and their role within our teams. A big thank you to all those who were present and made JJGK Aero shine during this weekend, concluding a rich week for the aerospace and defense industry.
After a six-year absence the AD2S | Aerospace & Defence Support and Services trade show made its return on September 25, 26 & 27 2024, at Bordeaux-Mérignac Air Base 106. Born from a close collaboration between the Ministry of the Armed Forces and the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region, this key event for MCO/MRO stakeholders was the ideal opportunity for JJGK Aero to showcase its services and projects. During the event, Alexis Tierny, co-managing director and Charlotte Pelletier, communication manager, were present at our booth to welcome key figures from the aerospace sector and create valuable opportunities. Their presence helped strenghten our relationships with industry leaders, including Airbus, the French Directorate General of Armaments (DGA), and the company Ixarys. These discussions provided an opportunity to explore strategic projects, identify synergies, and lay the groundwork for future collaborations. The three-day event was punctuated by numerous conferences on Operational Condition Maintenance (MCO), covering various topics such as conflict dynamics, economy, innovation, sustainable development, employment, and training. On the evening of Thursday, September 26, we were invited to Château de Latresne – Aérocampus Aquitaine site for the AD2S Gala Night, where we had enriching encouters and enjoyed a friendly atmosphere with live music and local products. The final day of the trade show focused on employment, training, career opportunities in the aerospace and defense sectors. Alexis Tierny took the floor at the Agora to share his professionnal journey and discuss career development opportunities for aerospace boilermakers. This was also a great occasion to welcome motivated students who discovered our MRO center dedicated to the Super Puma range and our job opportunities. After three days at AD2S, it was time for us to head back and get ready to welcome visitors for the Open House Weekend at Istres Air Base 125.

This is a windfall for JJGK-AERO, which is counting on new local talent to continue its development, as Programme Manager Alexis Tierny told Maritima. Thank you to everyone involved in this training programme, which meets a real need.
JJGK Aero, which operates in the civil and military aeronautics sector, chose the famous Mercure hangar in Istres as its base of operations because of its proximity to two major customers: Airbus Helicopters and Armée de l’Air Base 125. On 5 July 2022, during the second edition of Aerosud, JJGK Aero, which is making major financial and HR investments, was honoured by Provence Promotion at a special event in Istres with the «Invest in Provence» award.
