Andrey Boginsky said: “We are pleased to announce the start of co-operation with Air Ambulance Technology and we hope that this will be long-term and fruitful work. Creation of the new medical module, which meets international standards for medical aviation, will allow the holding company to expand the pool of potential customers, including European companies.
