Helicopter
We use MI8 helicopters for all our trips. The MI8 is the world’s most popular helicopter and has a reputation for being robust and extremely powerful. We charter these helicopters from the one of the largest Russian helicopter companies – Vityaz-Aero. The helicopters are checked and maintained following precise protocols in order that they reach the required safety standards in compliance with international regulations.
Both pilots and the engineers are highly trained and qualified professionals with a wealth of mountain flying experience.
