Helicopter Air Cargo to Remote / Hard-to-Reach Destinations

Helicopter Air Cargo to Remote / Hard-to-Reach Destinations

When ground or sea logistics are impossible due to challenging terrain, lack of infrastructure, or harsh climate, aviation becomes the only reliable means of getting the job done.
Helicopter transport makes it possible to deliver cargo and passengers to remote regions, isolated industrial facilities, mining sites, and construction projects.
Using versatile and reliable aircraft such as the Mi-8, Mi-17, and Mi-26, we arrange air transport of cargo and passengers to any location that is difficult or impossible to reach by other means of transport.

20+ years of real-world
expertise from our team

Direct access to
airline capacity

Deep expertise in
complex logistics

Dedicated account manager
& flexible solutions

Flawless turnkey
Charter solutions
Our service includes a full turnkey transport solution: we select the appropriate aircraft type (fixed-wing or helicopter) based on payload capacity, range, and operating conditions; develop a route tailored to the region’s characteristics and landing sites; and provide recommendations for cargo preparation.
Where necessary, we employ specialised techniques such as external sling loading, deliveries to unprepared landing sites, and loading/unloading operations in field conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is it better to use a helicopter rather than an aircraft?
Helicopter transport is used when:
  • There are no runways or airport access available
  • Direct delivery to a specific point is required (mining sites, construction projects, remote facilities)
  • Speed and minimising ground logistics stages are critical
  • Terrain or infrastructure conditions make aircraft operations impossible
We use proven aircraft types, including:
  • Mi-8 – a versatile helicopter for cargo and passenger transport
  • Mi-8MTV – a modernised version with improved altitude and climate performance and enhanced operational efficiency
  • Mi-8AMT – a modern modification adapted for challenging conditions, including low temperatures and remote regions
  • Mi-17 – an export version of the Mi-8 family with extended payload and operational capabilities
  • Mi-26 – a heavy transport helicopter designed for oversized and heavy cargo, including machinery, construction structures, and industrial equipment, with the ability to operate both internally and with external sling loads
We arrange helicopter transport for various cargo categories:
  • Industrial equipment and components
  • Construction materials and structures
  • Urgent spare parts and technical cargo
  • Cargo for the oil & gas, energy, and mining industries
  • Oversized cargo, including external sling loads
The feasibility of transport is determined based on weight, dimensions, and loading conditions.
Yes. Mi-8 and Mi-26 helicopters can carry cargo on an external sling. This method is used for delivering oversized and heavy cargo that cannot be accommodated inside the cargo hold.
Each such operation requires preliminary engineering analysis, load calculations, and the development of a securing plan.
For a preliminary estimate, we require:
  • Departure point and delivery point (coordinates or site description)
  • Cargo specifications (weight, dimensions, special characteristics)
  • Operational conditions (urgency, site type, sling requirement)
  • Number of passengers (for passenger transport)
Based on this information, we select the appropriate helicopter and plan the optimal route.
The cost depends on the following factors:
  • Helicopter type (Mi-8 AMT/MTV, Mi-26, or other)
  • Route distance and complexity
  • Landing conditions (prepared or unprepared site)
  • Cargo type and transport method (internal or sling)
  • Urgency and any additional services
Each project is calculated individually.
Yes. We provide integrated solutions:
  • Helicopter selection and charter
  • Route planning and permit coordination
  • Transport execution and monitoring
  • Delivery to the consignee and completion of the logistics chain
You receive a single point of responsibility and full control over the transport process.
