Key Performance Indicators All Positive Over 2011

UTair Group helicopter operations key performance indicators for the first 11 months of 2012 have surpassed results for the same period last year. UTair Group helicopter transport operations logged a total of 156,049 flight hours in the first 11 months of 2012, 19.5 percent more than for the same reporting period last year. In the same period, UTair Group helicopters transported 739,815 passengers and delivered 154,288.62 tons of cargo.

The growth of operations has come with fleet modernization and expansion of the airline’s portfolio of service operations, for example, the helicopter taxi services launched in the Rostov-On-Don region with AS 355N rotorcraft at the end of November this year.
 
UTair-Engineering has also expanded its MRO operations, receiving licenses this summer from the Robinson Helicopter Company and the Russian aviation authorities to operate as an authorized service center for Robinson helicopters in Russia. UTair-Engineering has already received the first Robinson R44 helicopter for overhaul.

With more than 350 domestic and foreign made helicopters in operation, primarily Mil and Eurocopter, UTair Group helicopters service clients on four continents. Principal UTair clients for helicopter services in Russia include leading Russian oil and gas companies, many of which have more than 40 years of cooperation with the airline.
 
UTair is the largest provider of helicopter services to the UN since 2002.
