FROM THE FALKLANDS TO PHILADELPHIA AND NORWAY; VOLGA-DNEPR’S 1,697TH DELIVERY OF HELICOPTERS


Volga-Dnepr Airlines carried one of Eurocopter’s Super Puma helicopters and two Sikorsky S-92 helicopters from Mount Pleasant in the Falkland Islands and Philadelphia, USA, to Bergen, Norway.


The Super Puma was loaded onboard one of the airline’s AN-124-100 freighters in Mount Pleasant before the aircraft continued onto the U.S. to pick up two brand new Sikorsky helicopters, which fl ew into Philadelphia in good time under their own power to be prepared for transportation to Norway.


Each helicopter was approximately 16 metres in length and weighed 10 tons. To place all three helicopters in the An- 124’s cargo hold some of the aircraft’s components were removed and delivered on the same fl ight. The operating height of the fl ight was changed to 8,000 metres instead of the usual 10,000 metres to ensure the correct cabin pressure was maintained throughout the journey in


order to protect the helicopter’s onboard equipment.


Volga-Dnepr Airlines has 22 years experience of carrying helicopters. During this time, it has completed 1,697 fl ights which have delivered helicopters to the USA, Afghanistan, Germany, the UK, United Arab Emirates and more than 10 other countries around the world.
