OREANDA-NEWS. September 25, 2013. IC Allianz has insured a unique expedition travelling through Russia on a small lightweight single-engine helicopter R66 Turbine made by Robinson Helicopter.

The flight was performed by Igor Gurzhuenko and Viktor Sidelnikov. It took them 56 days to travel almost 30 thousand km, mostly via uninhabited, remote and scantily explored areas of Zapolyar’e, Kamchatka and Siberia. For the small lightweight single-engine helicopter and two aviators who were not professional pilots, it was quite a difficult and risky route. Gurzhuenko and Sidelnikov visited such places where any small lightweight helicopter has never landed before, and even in such places where no foot has ever treaded.

IC Allianz acted as an insurer of the expedition Russia 360, having concluded the contracts for provision of aircraft hull insurance coverage and coverage of the air carrier’s liability in course of performance of the flight via the abovementioned route, and insurance coverage of life and health of the crew.
