According to its own information, Gazpromavia's fleet consists of over 30 aircraft and more than 100 helicopters from Russian, American and European manufacturers. The company does not provide precise information on the number of different aircraft and helicopters. Significantly fewer aircraft are registered for the company in the register of the Russian Aviation Agency. However, the list does not seem to be exhaustive and does not provide any information on whether the aircraft are still in active use. All information going beyond the information provided by the aviation agency is substantiated with sources. (As of September 2018)

Incidents

  • On March 21, 2007, a Mi-8 helicopter collided with a rock at an altitude of between 700 m and 900 m in the Komi Republic . The helicopter was on an observation flight over the Jugyd Wa National Park in the northern Urals . All five crew members and one employee of the national park were killed. After long investigations, a pilot's error was identified as the cause of the crash. He deviated from the planned route. Furthermore, the overall very inexperienced crew and difficult weather conditions had a negative impact. The helicopter was in good technical condition.
  • On April 16, 2008, a Mi-2 helicopter crashed in the Perm region . Of the four people on board - two crew members and two passengers - three died.
  • On January 9, 2009, a Gazpromavia Mi-171 helicopter crashed near the town of Aktash in the Altai Republic at 12:11 p.m. local time after the collision with the mountain. There were seven VIP passengers and 4 crew members on board. Four people survived the crash, including Anatoly Bannych, then Deputy Prime Minister of the Altai Republic. They were found three days after the crash. The helicopter crashed hard with the surface of the earth as the pilot tried to land the rotating helicopter quickly due to a stalled tail engine. The exact circumstances of the accident are controversial. It is alleged that unauthorized big game hunting for protected argali was pursued on the flight . Anatoly Bannych later confessed this in an interview.
  • On July 22, 2009, a Mi-8 helicopter crashed on a flight near the city of Kotovo in the Volgograd Oblast . Of the eight people on board - three crew members and five passengers - six lost their lives and two were seriously injured. The cause of the crash is unclear.
  • On December 19, 2009, a Mi-171 helicopter made an emergency landing 3 km from the city of Vorkuta Airport . He flew a shift team from the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug to Vorkuta. There were 22 passengers and three crew members on board. 13 people were hospitalized.
