HeliRussia spokesman Maxim Federov has confirmed to HeliHub.com that both HAI and Sikorsky have pulled out of HeliRussia and they are seeking to reassign the freed-up exhibition space. Additionally, Polish company Ankol – who represent Kamatics Corp in that region – have also announced their intention to follow suit

These moves are a direct result of the sanctions imposed in Russia by USA, we are told.

HeliRussia, now in its seventh year, will run 22-24 May at the Crocus exhibition centre in Moscow – see http://www.helirussia.ru/en/ – HeliHub.com is a media partner of HeliRussia
