The document was signed by the General Director of Russian Helicopter Systems (RVS) Alexei Zaitsev and General Director of Aviakapital-Service Roman Pakhomov. As a result of the transaction, the number of Ansats in the RVS fleet will increase to 19 vehicles.
The signing took place within the framework of the International Aviation and Space Salon (MAKS-2021) taking place these days.
According to the terms of the contract, Russian Helicopter Systems will receive at its disposal two Ansat helicopters on a lease basis. The vehicles have a multipurpose purpose and will be used, among other things, for the needs of medical aviation.
Russian Helicopter Systems is the largest operator of new domestic twin-engine Ansat helicopters - today there are 17 aircraft of this class in the RVS fleet. Most of the helicopters (15 units) are provided with sanitary equipment and are equipped with a modern medical module manufactured by the Kazan Helicopter Plant.
Russian Helicopter Systems is the leading operator of new domestic helicopters: the airline not only became the first and largest operator of Ansat, but also the first civilian operator of the new domestic Mi-38 helicopter, which occupied a promising niche between medium Mi-8/17 and heavy helicopters Mi-26.
In addition, the fleet of Russian Helicopter Systems also includes helicopters manufactured by Leonardo Helicopters (AW109 and AW139), as well as domestic Mi-8 AMT / MTV helicopters.
Recall that in May this year, within the framework of the International Helicopter Industry Exhibition HeliRussia-2021, Russian Helicopter Systems signed a contract for the supply of the first five light VRT500 helicopters, which will replenish the airline's fleet by the end of 2024.
The company is an active participant in the development program of the domestic air ambulance. In total, since June 2017, the crews of Russian Helicopter Systems have evacuated more than 10 thousand patients in various regions of Russia.
The International Aviation and Space Salon MAKS-2021 is held from 20 to 25 July in Zhukovsky, Moscow Region. The event is organized by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation and the State Corporation Rostec.
