We were the first

RUSSAIR was the first to introduce the foreign-made helicopter to Russia. This event took place in 1998. The following record was entered into the Russian State Civil Aircraft Registry: RA-04101, “04” meaning light aircraft, “01” - the first aircraft of this kind in the Registry.

In 1999 we delivered the first R-44 (Robinson) to Russia and had it demonstrated at the LenExpo Exhibition Center. Also we were the first to be granted the status of the Robinson dealer in the territory of the Russian Federation.

During the holidays in honour of the 300th anniversary of Saint-Petersburg, the first official flight over the city by the twin-engine Airbus Helicopters AS355 N was organized with the assistance of RUSSAIR representatives.

In 2006 RUSSAIR industry experts secured the delivery of the first demonstration VIP АW109 POWER (AgustaWestland) to Russia, in 2007 – of the Airbus Helicopters 8-seat EC145 (BK117 C-2). In the same year the company was granted the status of the first Russian certified Engineering Aviation Service relating to the AS350 B3, AS355 N and EC145 (BK117 C-2) helicopters.

Equally outstanding achievements were made in 2011: we delivered and started operation of an EC155 B1, the first in Russia, also we were granted the EAS certificate for this type aircraft.

Our reputation for continuous development and improvement, with an uncompromising policy with regard to safety, is proven by the increasing number of customers using our services each year.
