Russian Helicopters Holding delivered a Mi-8MTV-1 helicopter manufactured by the Kazan Helicopters for the Republic of Tuva. This is the second helicopter delivered to the Tuva Airlines under the contract signed in 2018.

The Mi-8MTV-1 helicopter will be used in the region as part of a programme to improve transport accessibility in remote areas. The first helicopter, delivered to the customer ahead of time, is already carrying out tasks for its intended purpose. It was transferred on April 25, 2019.

Both Mi-8MTV-1 delivered for the Tuva Airlines are equipped with auxiliary power units, providing the function of an emergency source of electricity in the event of a generator failure. Helicopters are equipped with external cable suspensions, medevac and rescue equipment. In addition, Mi-8MTV-1 are equipped with 300-kg winches that are capable to carry out rescue operations.

The delivery of helicopters under this contract was made possible largely owing to the Agreement on Trade and Economic, Scientific and Technology, Social and Cultural Cooperation between Tuva and Tatarstan. The document was signed in Kyzyl in 2016 by Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov and Head of the Republic of Tuva Sholban Kara-ool.

The Tuva Airlines specialises in cargo and passenger transportation. Its fleet is equipped with Mi-8 helicopters and compact aircraft.

Employees of the Kazan Helicopters took part in a business game, which became an in-site stage for skills diagnostics of company's employees, as part of a comprehensive project for building a systemic work with young people. The correspondence stage consisted in questioning and filling in an online checklist.

A total of 45 workers from various workshops and departments were tested on a business simulator. This is a strategic game, according to the rules of which teams develop their corporations. Throughout the game, participants face various external destabilising factors: crises, needs for credits, etc. A winner is the team that has created the most efficient corporation.

Based on the results of the two stages of diagnostics, the Rostec Academy will determine the level of promotion and manifestation of corporate skills and make a detailed conclusion with recommendations on the future professional development of each employee.

The mission of the Rostec’s Young Professionals programme is to form an overall system for working with youth at its companies. The programme’s key elements are the identification and development of high-potential employees, technology leaders capable of initiating, launching, and maintaining relevant projects.
