10.05.08 - Sudan mission Three months have expired since the beginning of the Ukrainian Helicopters operations in Sudan. The Aviation Company is carrying out a transport support of the UN DPKO and African Union (UNAMID) joint mission in this country. The main task of the mission is to pacify the restless region of Darfur where the civil opposition lasts more than twenty years.
So, it is necessary to transport the peace-support forces to the hard-to-reach zones of the country or to organize the meetings of the negotiation process participants. Nevertheless, it is not less important for five company aircraft operating in Sudan to provide the humanitarian aid for the local population. This support has a shape of medical assistance or delivery of drugs or even articles of prime necessity to organize the daily life.
Our pilots efforts can be expressed in two main figures: during the mentioned period they transported more than 5 thousand people of peacekeeping forces and 400 tons of cargo.
