First Mi-171A2 Ready for Service with UTair Delivery
UTair signed a contract for two of the helicopters and has a further agreement on joint marketing and support.

UTair accepted the first Mil Mi-171A2 on May 24. Speaking at the ceremony, held at HeliRussia 2018 in Moscow, Russian Helicopters CEO Andrei Boginsky called the event “another milestone” for the Mi-171A2 project after the “A” type certification in August last year and an approval for extended temperature envelope in January 2018 permitting operations in extreme cold conditions, down to -50 degrees Celsius. “I hope that Russia’s largest commercial rotorcraft operator will operate this helicopter successfully and thus give a positive signal to the whole market for helicopter services,” he said.
