Aviation of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Kazakhstan has received a new Airbus Helicopters H145 D3 helicopter, which has become part of the updated fleet of aircraft of Kazaviaspas JSC.
In a solemn ceremony, Cecile Arnault, CEO of Airbus Helicopters Kazakhstan Engineering, handed over the keys to the new aircraft to the Minister of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Major General Genghis Arinov. The H145 D3 helicopter was selected to perform a wide range of tasks, including search and rescue operations, extinguishing forest and wildfires, as well as other critical emergency response tasks.
"The renewal of the aviation fleet is a strategic task to increase the efficiency of our services. We plan to create aviation detachments in each region, which will allow us to respond promptly to emergencies," said Genghis Arinov.
The Head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations stressed the importance of training personnel for the operation of modern helicopters, as well as the introduction of innovative technologies in the aviation of emergency services.
The H145 D3 helicopter has excellent maneuverability, reliability and high adaptability to various climatic conditions, which makes it an ideal choice for operating in conditions requiring efficiency and accuracy. It is equipped with modern medical equipment for emergency care, a spillway device for extinguishing fires (with a capacity of 1,000 liters), as well as rescue balloons for operations over water areas.
One of the key advantages of the helicopter is its powerful searchlight, which allows it to operate effectively in conditions of night operations and limited visibility, which significantly expands its capabilities in unstable situations.
"Obtaining the H145 D3 helicopter is an important step in the framework of the modernization program of the aviation fleet of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Kazakhstan. In 2024, our aircraft has already made 2,537 sorties to conduct rescue operations, extinguish fires and participate in exercises," said Alpamys Kamalov, General Director of Kazaviaspas JSC.
The meeting also discussed the prospects for the development of the helicopter industry in Kazakhstan, including the adaptation of the H160 helicopter with subsequent localization of production.
The Ministry of Emergency Situations continues to strengthen its resources and improve the effectiveness of emergency response. The new H145 D3 helicopter will become an indispensable tool for saving human lives and ensuring the safety of citizens of Kazakhstan.
