Whitesky Aviation through the 2025 Asia Expo Heli (HEXIA) is committed to building and strengthening superior human resource competencies (HR) by collaborating strategically with universities in Indonesia.

Whitesky Aviation Chief Commercial Officer Ari Nurwanda in Tangerang, Saturday said the synergy carried out with universities was a real step to prepare an adaptive and global competitive young generation, especially in the aerospace, tourism and smart transportation sectors.

"Helikopter for us is a smart, efficient, and productive transportation solution. Its function not only supports business mobility, but also education, energy, and emergency health services. With its ability to penetrate land transportation limitations, helicopters are an important part of the transformation of inclusive and sustainable air mobility," he explained.

According to him, in the midst of accelerating the transformation of the air transportation industry, the need for workers with high competence is increasingly urgent. Thus, the world of education is required to bridge the theory in the lecture room with the real needs of the industry.

However, this collaboration can provide an educational ecosystem based on practice, innovation, applied research, and cross-sectoral connections that will strengthen Indonesia's competitiveness in the global arena.

"The Whitesky Aviation partnership with higher education involves Trisakti University, each with a different focus: Institute of Transportation and Logistics (ITL): the development of aerospace HR through project-based curriculum, coaching factory, internships, training, and research," he explained.

In addition, there are tourism institutes, especially internship programs, professional training, tourism research, destination promotions, and a global standard hospitality curriculum.

"The Faculty of Civil Engineering and Planning (FTSP): strengthens the competence of human resources through teaching practitioners, seminars, public lectures, applied research, and active contributions at HEXIA 2025," he said.

Strategic impacts from the lecture room to the world of signing work have a significant long-term impact, including, as curriculum relevance increases, aligned with the real needs of the industry.

"HR is ready to work who has direct experience from internships, coaching factors, and project-based learning," he said.

A sustainable professional network between students, academics, practitioners, and industry players. The younger generation as the largest investment through HEXIA 2025, Whitesky Aviation emphasized that the industry's biggest investment is on human quality.

The focus on superior human resources is a long-term strategy so that Indonesia is not only a consumer of technology, but also a leading talent producer who leads the transformation of the aerospace, tourism and smart transportation industries at the regional and global levels.

"HEXIA 2025 is not only an exhibition platform, but a catalyst for the birth of collaboration in education and industry. This is a real investment for the younger generation who will lead the future of Indonesian air transportation," he said.

It is known that the 2025 Asian Expo Helicopter (HEXIA) presents more than 70 free flights to the SKYDRIVE electric air taxi (eVTOL) for visitors to the Asian level event which will be held on August 20-24 at Cengkareng Heliport.

CEO of Heli Expo Asia T. Iskandar Muda in Tangerang, Wednesday said that entering its third year, HEXIA carries the theme "Elevating the Industry," Transforming Sustainable Tomorrow with the vision of becoming the epicenter of the growth and innovation of the helicopter industry in Asia.

"We open HEXIA 2025 to the wider public, including families and students, so that we can see firsthand the development of air transportation technology, try joyflight, and get to know the helicopter industry more closely. Hopefully, this experience can build the interest of the younger generation in the world of aviation," he explained.

According to him, the HEXIA exhibition, which will be held for almost a week, will be present exclusively at the Helicopter Display Center (HDC), precisely at the Whitesky Aviation's New Main Facility Building (MFB) building.

This location was chosen to reflect high service standards as well as to represent long-term investment in the development of helicopter infrastructure in Indonesia.

As a form of support for this vision, Whitesky Aviation as the champion company in the helicopter and air transportation sector also facilitates the holding of exhibitions.

"The construction of MFB and HDC is not only intended to provide services with a 'sixth star' standard for industry players, but is also a form of our commitment to strengthening the modern and high-standard helicopter infrastructure," he said.
