Formed in 2002, Ukrainian Helicopters (Hall 3 Stand E110) has been flying overhauled Mi-8MTV-1 (Mi-17-1V) helicopters on a range of humanitarian and emergency relief operations under contract to both national and international organizations. After gaining its AOC in 2003, Ukrainian Helicopters undertook its first contract in 2004, fighting fires in Portugal. Since then the company has flown under various UN contracts in many areas of Africa, operating in harsh conditions to deliver aid and perform evacuations.
