Russian Helicopters Holding Company (part of Rostec) has handed over two Mi-8AMT helicopters to Yeltsovka Air Enterprise under a contract with the State Transport Leasing Company (GTLK). The rotary-wing aircraft were delivered to the customer in Novosibirsk on their own, the Rostec press service reported.
It is specified that the Mi-8AMT has been modified for the subsequent installation of medical modules, a side boom with a winch, and additional internal fuel tanks. The helicopters received a ramp with an electro-hydraulic drive to facilitate loading and unloading, including wheeled vehicles. This will also allow for the transportation of long cargo.

The company's helicopter fleet includes 19 Mi-8T helicopters, 9 of the latest Mi-8MTV/AMT helicopters with medical modules. Yeltsovka pilots fly on routes in the Tomsk, Novosibirsk regions, Krasnoyarsk Territory, YaNAO, KhMAO, Komi, and Kamchatka.
