ABOUT 
HELITECH ASIA

With more than forty years’ experience in the aviation and defense industries, Christian Duhain combines a rare mix of international business know-how and industrial strategy acquired throughout his career, from his early days as an engineer in airborne avionics at Thales to being in charge of major sales programs for market leaders such as Dassault or Matra Defense. His strong drive and management skills led him to become in 2005 Corporate President of EADS International where he successfully conducted the group’s worldwide strategy (Airbus, ATR, CASA, Eurocopter, Astrium, MBDA) for half a decade. He left the company in 2011 to create Global Sky in Singapore, initially exclusively providing consultancy services to conglomerates wanting to develop in the Asia-Pacific region, either through direct sales, internal or external growth. Christian diversified the geographic and activity scopes of the company since, adding aircraft trading, helicopter distribution among others capabilities.

Originally from Milan, Italy, where he earned a BSc in Business Administration from Bocconi University, Edoardo has lived and worked in several countries across Europe and Asia, cultivating a global mindset and a passion for building trusted relationships in diverse cultural environments. He brings a strong track record in business development and helicopter sales across Asia-Pacific, with a focus on high-value, cross-border transactions. At Rotortrade, Edoardo led the successful sale of over $27 million worth of pre-owned helicopters, driving strategic growth in key markets such as Japan, Korea, and Mongolia. With prior experience managing manufacturer relationships—including Leonardo Helicopters—he combines commercial expertise with technical insight gained through hands-on delivery support and field training. Edoardo joined Global Sky in 2025 to continue expanding his footprint in the aviation industry and to support the company’s growing presence in the region.
