The company Craft Avia Center began construction of a service center and show room of Russian helicopters.

Russian state corporation Rostec, its subsidiary holding Russian Helicopters and the Mexican company Craft Avia Centre have negotiated the project for the sale and servicing of Ansat helicopters on the Mexican market. Craft Avia Centre has applied to the country’s aviation authorities for validation of Ansat’s Russian flight certification. The Mexican company has also begun the construction of a service centre and a showroom for the sale of the helicopters.

The meeting was held ahead of the Russian Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov’s working visit to Mexico. The negotiations regarding the distribution of Ansat helicopters in Mexico were held by the deputy chief executive officer of State Corporation Rostec, Dmitry Lelikov; the CEO of Russian Helicopters Holding Company, Andrey Boginsky and the CEO of Craft Avia Centre José de Vicente. They discussed the issues of the potential demand for Russian civilian helicopters on the Mexican market, as well as the process of obtaining the Mexican certificate for the Ansat helicopter.

“The Craft Avia Centre company invited us to be the distributor of Ansat helicopters on the Mexican market. We have already prepared and directed a commercial offering to supply a machine which will be used as a demonstration for potential customers. Now our offer is being considered by the other party, and we hope to soon be able to sign the contract,” said Andrey Boginsky.

“At the present time, Craft Avia Centre has already begun the construction of a site that will house a 4,000-square metre maintenance and repair centre for Ansat helicopters, as well as a showroom for demonstrations of the helicopters and the sale of services for responsible storage. It is also intended that this centre will be certified,” – said Dmitry Lelikov.

The Russian fleet of helicopters in Mexico currently includes about 50 machines, of the Mi-8/17 aircraft family, as well as two Mi-26 helicopters.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
