Russian Helicopters has won a contract from the Iranian Helicopter Support and Renewal Company (PANHA) to upgrade its maintenance and overhaul facility for Mi-17 helicopters.

Two contracts have been reached to "in compliance with the memorandum signed in October 2015 with the PANHA factory on its retrofitting," the Russian company’s deputy Alexander Shcherbinin was quoted as saying by RIA Novosti at the Dubai Airshow.

The first contract stipulates "general conditions of providing technical assistance in retrofitting the center for maintenance and overhaul of Mi-17 series of helicopters." Shcherbinin said Wednesday.

The second contract envisages general conditions for spare part supplies and instructions on Mi-17s maintenance and overhaul, Shcherbinin said.

The Mil Mi-17 is the Russian-made transport helicopters due to its advanced flight capabilities, high level of reliability and adaptability, ability to operate in a wide range of climatic conditions and ease of operation and maintenance.
