A helicopter service centre has been opened in Bishkek, the Kyrgyzstan capital. The base will both maintain and upgrade Mil helicopters and provide warranty services.
The new centre has been set up by Novosibirsky Aviaremontnyi Zavod, part of the Russian Helicopterscongolmerate.
Local operations of Mil helicopters are centred on Kyrgyzstan’s Ministry for Emergency Situations, the Defence Ministry and its state-run airline.
