Russia sends the first of dozens of Ansat helicopters to Mexico

Russian Helicopters and their Mexican partner –
the Craft Avia Center
announced plans to form a partnership to market the Ansat multi-purpose helicopter in Mexico several years back,
with the Mexican side opening a service center earlier this year.
This reported by Sputnik.

The global economic slowdown and coronavirus pandemic
has not held Mexico back from taking delivery of its first Ansat helicopter,
Jose de Vicente, director of Craft Avia Center’s Ansat helicopter service and distribution center,
has confirmed.

“Everything is proceeding as we have planned.
The first helicopter, which has been disassembled,
is on its way from Moscow to St. Petersburg in two containers.

On April 5,
it will be loaded onto a ship, which will arrive in Mexico in 27 days, during the first week of May,”
de Vicente said in an interview.

According to the businessman,
the delivery has not been affected by recently introduced sanitary restrictions.

Earlier, Craft Avia Center announced plans to purchase 13 Ansat helicopters for themselves and clients,
with 27 more helicopters planned to be ordered for Mexico’s national air ambulance project.

The Ansat is presently undergoing certification, which is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
