Preliminary results were voiced at the Russian Helicopters board meeting which reviewed performance in the helicopter sector over the past year and outlined its main priorities for 2014. 

"In 2013 Russian Helicopters continued to develop as a modern, highly efficient and dynamic Russian company," Russian Helicopters CEO Alexander Mikheev said. "We completed the state defence order in full, supplied combat helicopters to export and produced dozens of batches of safe, reliable commercial helicopters for Russian and international customers."

 

We continued to modernise production over the past year. Over 800 news pieces of machinery were installed in our facilities, and more than 100 events designed to make us more eco-friendly and improve safety were held. 

The portfolio of confirmed orders, as of 11 December 2013, stood at 772 helicopters worth over 12 billion dollars (370 billion roubles). 

Russian Helicopters' order book is 100% full for 2014, 73% full for 2015 and 25% full for 2016.
