UTair Orders 50 Mi-8AMT
Rostec, July 22, 2021 - Russian Helicopters holding, part of Rostec State Corporation, signed an agreement with UTair - Helicopter Services within the framework of the MAKS-2021 International Aviation and Space Salon for the supply of 50 Mi-8AMT helicopters.

The document was signed by Andrey Boginsky, Director General of Russian Helicopters, and Andrey Martirosov, Director General of UTair Aviation. The agreement provides for the supply of helicopters starting in 2022.

UTair is the largest operator of Russian helicopters, and today's agreement is aimed at timely and systematic renewal of the airline's fleet.

One of the terms of the agreement is to further improve the efficiency of aircraft operation, which will make it possible to carry out flights with a crew of two. This option was implemented on another helicopter - the most modern Mi-171A2, the first operator of which was UTair, - said Andrey Boginsky.

The performance characteristics of the Mi-8AMT helicopter ensure the transportation of up to 27 passengers, as well as the transportation of goods weighing up to 4 tons inside the cargo compartment or on an external sling. Thanks to a wide range of additional equipment, Mi-8AMT helicopters are used in transport, passenger, fire fighting, ambulance, search and rescue and emergency rescue options.

“We plan to use 50 helicopters in the latest modification to perform passenger and cargo transportation within the framework of oil and gas projects of our customers, primarily in the Vostok Oil project of PJSC NK Rosneft. We perform our main flights in difficult climatic conditions on domestic aircraft manufactured by Russian Helicopters. We managed to jointly create a product, unique for the world helicopter market, with the highest level of flight safety at the lowest price for heavy helicopters. UTair already operates over a hundred helicopters of the modern Mi-17 family. The 50 new aircraft is an important part of our fleet management plan, as outlined in the airline's financial model. The replenishment of the fleet will have a positive budget effect and will create many new jobs for pilots,
