UTair have today posted their operational figures for 2011, and comparison to 2010.  While this is largely covering their huge fixed wing fleet, they have detailed the following two very impressive helicopter fleet figures.

Flight hours in 2011 – 139,580 hours (an increase of 15.3% over 2010)
Passengers in 2011 – 798,249 (an increase of 28.0% over 2010)
Cargo tonnes in 2011 – 157,250 tonnes (an increase of 11.3% over 2010)

Their fixed wing increases were even higher, with paasenger kilometers flown up 38.3%
