The Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Emercom) has officially introduced its fourth LET L-410NG into service. The multi-purpose twin-engine turboprop marks the final delivery under a four-aircraft contract signed in 2024 with the Czech-based Omnipol Group, the parent company of aircraft manufacturer LET Aircraft Industries.

The aircraft, registered as UP-L4115 (serial number 3513), has joined the fleet of Kazaviaspas, the aviation rescue arm of Kazakhstan’s Emercom. The newly delivered turboprop will be based at Oskemen International Airport (Ust-Kamenogorsk), significantly expanding the operational capabilities of the ministry’s regional aviation division. To support the new fleet, the construction of a dedicated hangar for aircraft storage and line maintenance is scheduled to begin shortly with the support of the East Kazakhstan Akimat (regional administration).

According to Emercom, the primary missions for the new L-410NG will include rapid emergency response, humanitarian aid delivery, deployment of rescue teams, and medical evacuation (Medevac) from remote locations. The ministry emphasized that the L-410NG platform is critical for the East Kazakhstan region, which is characterized by challenging mountainous terrain and severe weather conditions.
