We are offering our Kazakh partners the latest models and take care to provide high-quality service for the helicopters we supply, continually improving and upgrading our service programmes.”

The forum aims to expand bilateral cooperation between Russia and Kazakhstan on joint helicopter projects. Kazakh helicopter operators will give presentations on their experience and the prospects for operating Russian-built helicopters in the region. Russian Helicopters plans to sign a number of agreements with Kazakh partners during the forum to expand and deepen mutually beneficial cooperation.
