Russian Helicopters has reached an agreement to facilitate overhaul of Egyptian fleet of Russian built Mi-17 and Mi-8T helicopters in Egypt.
The repair base in Heluane (Egypt) will be retooled in order to provide technical support for repairs to Mi-8T and Mi-17-1V helicopters operated by the Egyptian Air Force.
The plant will carry out comprehensive repairs on Egyptian Air Force’s fleet of 41 Mi-8Ts and 3 Mi-17-1V helicopters. According to the agreement, the spare parts and components will be sourced from Russian suppliers.
To support comprehensive repair work to the frames, components, gears and rotor systems in helicopters operated by Egypt’s Air Force, Russian Helicopters will deliver equipment for the production line, carry out commissioning work, and transfer all the necessary documentation to the Egyptian side.
Egyptian specialists will be trained to carry out comprehensive repairs to Mi-8T, Mi-17-1V and Mi-17V-5 at Russian Helicopters’ Novosibirsk Aircraft Repair Plant. Russian Helicopters will provide design and technical support for these repairs for a two year period.
The legendary Mi-8/17 helicopters, developed by Russian Helicopters’ Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant, are renowned world-over and more than 12,000 helicopters in this series have been produced and delivered to 100 countries.
