Mi-8: buy, sell, source for a contract

The Mi-8 is the country's workhorse helicopter, yet its market runs on personal connections: classified boards, "price on request", aircraft with no clear history. We do this work in the open — with component life checks, documents and a real market price.

For operators — an aircraft for the contract

Air ambulance, aerial forestry work, oil and gas, regional transport: we source Mi-8AMT and Mi-8MTV-1 built from 2006 onwards for a specific contract and season. We know the demand calendar: an aircraft for spring tenders has to be found in winter, not in April.

For owners — sell without losing value

Two aircraft of the same build year can differ in price by multiples: what matters is remaining component life, overhaul history and clean title. We value the helicopter, prepare it for sale — photos, specification, records — and take it to operator-buyers, not to a classifieds board.

For companies and investors — buy and put to work

Buying an aircraft and handing it to an operator: the helicopter works on contracts, the owner earns. We run the economics before the deal — with real airworthiness costs, not marketing figures. Sometimes the honest answer is "don't buy", and we say it.

Aircraft management — how it works →
Behind us are closed deals, not promises: two new Mi-8s ordered from the factory for a client, a Mi-171A2 purchase with condition and records checks, aircraft brought into service. We do not offer aircraft older than 20 years: they are harder on component life, financing and resale.

How the deal works

Task and budget

Routes, flying hours, contracts, timeline. From this — the requirements for variant, configuration and remaining component life.

Search and inspection

We look at the whole market, including aircraft not openly for sale. We check component life, overhaul history and encumbrances. We act for the buyer, not the seller.

The deal

Contract, payment structure, insurance, handover. If financing is needed — we bring in the loan programme or leasing.

Entry into service

Ferry flight, operator, records, crew. The deal ends with a flying aircraft, not with a signature.

Buying or selling a Mi-8?

Describe the task in two paragraphs: routes, flying hours, timeline. You will get a personal reply — with specific aircraft, or an honest "none available right now".
