Residents of Kara-Balta are surprised: a helicopter was flying at a low altitude
According to the townspeople, the helicopter was seen in different areas of the city, and, as eyewitnesses claim, they have not seen anything like this in the last 20 years. “The helicopter flew at the level of a five-story building along 40 Years of Kyrgyzstan Street,” they shared.
The local emergency department noted that they have no information about this flight.
Local residents speculate that it could have been a commercial flight. The Ministry of Emergency Situations offers helicopter rental services for both individuals and legal entities on a commercial basis.
The rental cost depends on the type of helicopter. For instance, a flight on the “Airbus H-125” will cost 157,662 soms per hour, while a flight on the “Airbus H-145” will be 262,770 soms. It is also possible to rent the heavy transport helicopter “Mi-8MTV,” which is used for transporting large groups, at a cost of approximately 2,300 dollars per hour.
