An Antonov AN-124 aircraft touched down at M. R. Štefánik Airport in Bratislava, bringing in three Mil Mi-17 helicopters from Afghanistan for general overhaul, which will be carried out at Aircraft Repair Company Trenčín. The joint stock company, which operates under the SVK MOD, has been awarded a contract in an international competitive bidding process by the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA), where it beat off completion from the world's leading companies.
“This is one of the biggest contracts in the history of our Aircraft Repair Company. However, our success consists not only in standing out among the competition with the world's top companies, but also in securing jobs for people in the Trenčín region for several years to come,” said SVK Minister of Defence Peter Gajdoš. The movement of the Mil Mi-17 helicopters from Bratislava Airport directly to Aircraft Repair Company Trenčín was ensured by using the surface transport option. Because of the competitive bidding process conditions and the nature of the concluded contract, it is not possible to supply more information. However, the MOD will bring updates on the implementation of the contract.
