Vzlet (Russian Авиакомпания Взлет) is a Russian charter passenger and cargo airline operating Mil Mi-8 helicopters[1] and an Antonov AN-26 'flying laboratory' aircraft loaded with various test instruments. They also have the capacity to carry out supply and maintenance of up to 20 helicopters of various models.[2] The name literally means 'Rise'. It was founded in 1972 at the NILITS research-test centre where a heliport was created along with their own airline. NILITS was renamed the 'Vzlet Scientific-Production Association' in 1992 and in 2011 became part of Promindustria.[2]
