Russian Helicopters, part of State Corporation Rostec, has fulfilled two contracts for the supply of aviation equipment for Mi-8/17 and Mi-24/35 helicopters that belong to the Peruvian Air Force. Contracts were signed in the summer of 2016 following a tender.
“Delivery of authentic components for Russian-made helicopters is an important part of maintaining equipment in constant flight readiness and improving flight safety,” said Russian Helicopters deputy CEO for after sales service, Igor Chechikov. “We are pleased to note the desire of our Peruvian counterparts to combat counterfeiting and to purchase spare parts for helicopters directly from the manufacturer. We are counting on a gradual increase in the volumes of supplies and expansion of cooperation.”
The fleet of Russian-made helicopters in Peru is one of the biggest in the Western Hemisphere. The country operates more than 100 Russian-made helicopters. The Armed Forces of Peru are actively using Russian Mi-8/17 and Mi-24/35 helicopters in the most difficult and inaccessible areas of the country.
Russian Helicopters products take part in special operations of the Peruvian armed forces in the fight against drug trafficking and illegal mining of minerals.
One of the most important tasks of Russian Helicopters is to provide first-class maintenance of helicopter equipment throughout its lifecycle. To this end, the holding is actively developing a system of after-sales service in all key regions of the world, including the countries of Latin America.
The integrated after-sales service system offered by the holding company ensures repairs and modernization of helicopters in the shortest possible time, thus supporting helicopter fleet in constant operational readiness.
