The MI-8 helicopter bearing the side number 823 that went missing November 24 underwent regular checks and performed flying routs in Alakol district once every two weeks, Euro-Asia Air reps told a Tengrinews.kz journalist. “The helicopter was regularly used to meet the Kazakhstan – Chinese pipeline’s needs. The vehicle was in a good technical condition (…) after an overhaul”, the Company’s representatives said, adding that all the crew members were employees of the Zhezkazgan-based branch of Euro-Asia Air, with Zhezkazgan being the starting point. Among those aboard were only employees of KazTranOil Oil Shipment Company and those of Kazakhstan-Chinese pipeline venture. Earlier Tengrinews.kz ran the list of the helicopter crew members and people aboard: Captain – Raul Khabibullin; Pilot – Nurlan Yessenaliyev Flight mechanic – Vladimir Kim Engineers – Konstantin Maksayev and Viktor Radomskiy Accompanying persons - T. Shokparov, A. Sarsembayev, K. Sabirov. The helicopter flew off November 24 at 08.30 to fly over the Ushara-Dostyk section of the Atasu – Alashankow oil pipeline. At 12.30 the same day the contact with the helicopter was lost. Euro-Asia Air is a subsidiary of KazMunaiGas National Oil and Gas Company. The Company owns a fleet of thirteen MI-8T helicopters, five Yak-40 aircraft, two AS-365N3 helicopters, one Challenger 850 aircraft and one Challenger 870, as well as two Agusta Westland 139 helicopters.
