History of MCL
Searching for opportunities
MCL company was founded in 2005, when the demand for commercial helicopter transport became apparent. At that time, flying helicopters was mostly done at flying clubs. However, the main purpose of these organizations has been and still remains training pilots and enthusiasts, and not providing private transportation. Aeroclubs rarely had necessary operating licenses. In addition, their activities didn’t always address the security issues. As a result of improper operation and maintenance the condition of the aircrafts used was often quite poor.
Meanwhile, the number of people willing to use the services of private helicopter transport increased. The ability to travel long distances in the shortest possible time, avoiding traffic jams - that's what was valuable for them. Thus, our idea was to create a professional helicopter company was a kind of response to market demands.
Responsible approach to business
The difficulty of commercial aviation lies in the fact that there are high security demands and an incredible amount of legal and regulatory obstacles. We have always strived to be a reliable company, and not just seem like one.
We opted to use Eurocopter helicopters, recognized as one of the most advanced air vehicles in the world. These aircraft are a VIP-class, fully able to provide comfort and safety. We managed to assemble a remarkable team of professionals consisting of pilots, technicians, engineers and managers. Our flight and technical personnel have been trained at the Eurocopter training center and meet all the professional qualifications and experience required to safely maintain and operate these fine aircraft. Considerable time and effort was spent on obtaining private helicopter transportation licenses and certificates.
Finally, the Federal Service for Supervision of Transport of the Russian Federation has given us their permission to fly. It was an official blessing.
MCL. Professional helicopter company
Months of preparations and all the formalities were not in vain. Nothing may be compared with the feeling of happiness that we experienced when the MCL helicopter made its maiden flight in 2005! This event will remain as one of the most exciting in our company's history.
Time has shown that we made the right decision by making a bet on professionalism. Our clients are people from different areas of business executives, government officials said they appreciated the opportunity to fly to business meetings in our leisure VIP-class helicopters in an atmosphere of maximum comfort.
Through our unique experience in organizing a helicopter transportation company, we are able to advise clients on the purchase of aircraft. And many of them have become the happy owners of their own helicopters.
MCL. Professional private aviation company
In 2009 we made a strategic decision to develop new business direction – private jet flight services. MCL fleet was enlarged with the addition of Embraer Legacy 600, which meets the highest demands for comfort and safety. Thereby, MCL became a professional private aviation company offering its clients business and private flight services around the world.
