JIC Leasing has recently delivered two Mi-171 helicopters equipped with high-performance engines to a certain general-aviation company to be used in national emergency rescue operations and to help the development of a national aviation system for emergency rescues.

Mi-171 helicopters are known for being cost-effective, durable and highly reliable, and are globally recognized as a mature model. They have minimal requirements for the environment for taking off and landing, in addition to having a large payload capacity and a huge cabin. Their high-performance engines make them well suited for emergency rescues under complex circumstances, and may be used for missions to safeguard people’s livelihoods, including fighting an epidemic, flood control and fire prevention. The project leaseholder is a leading state-owned general-aviation company in China, whose fleet size, talent reserve, business experience and management standard are ahead of the industry in China.

Today, the development of general aviation plays an increasingly important role in the building of an emergency rescue system. The COVID-19 pandemic and the occurrence of unexpected events across the world have furthered increased the urgency to build an aviation system for emergency rescues. This assignment is based on an operating lease and had to overcome challenges in customs clearance as a result of the pandemic before delivery could be successfully made. JIC Leasing actively implements national policies and continues to pay close attention to business opportunities in the field. The Company supports the development of the general-aviation industry and contributes to the building of an aviation system for emergency rescues.
