The other day there was information that the couple of Ukrainian billionaires Galina and Alexander Geregi, known throughout the country thanks to their network of Epicenter construction hypermarkets, purchased an expensive helicopter, Strana reports.
Information about this appeared on the website of the State Register of Aircraft. It says that on August 20, a Bell 429 helicopter of this year of manufacture was registered at Epicenter. Its cost ranges from $9.5 to $10.5 million. The price depends on the number of passenger seats and configuration. The VIP modification can accommodate 4 people in addition to the pilot and even oversized luggage.

By the way, this is not the first helicopter of this company from Gereg. 5 years ago, Alexander was seen in the Khmelnytsky region on such a respectable “iron bird”.
As we managed to find out, another oligarch and associate of Petro Poroshenko, Yuri Kosyuk, also acquired two helicopters from the same American company this summer.
On June 9, Bell 429 and Bell 430 were registered at his enterprise MHP (Myronivsky Khleboprodukt). In total, helicopters will pull $ 20 million.

It should be noted that in September 2018, on Trukhanov Island, in the middle of the Dnieper in Kiev, a Eurocopter-145 crashed for $3.5 million. It was established that it belongs to Kosyuk and was also registered with his company. On board the helicopter was a pilot and a passenger who survived and were taken to the hospital with serious injuries. Then, surrounded by one of the richest Ukrainians, they said that he himself, as a busy man, often preferred to overcome metropolitan traffic jams by air.

But the brother of the mayor of Kiev Vitali Klitschko – Vladimir has been flying on a helicopter of the American aviation industry for several years.
Earlier, Strana published exclusive footage of how Klitschko Jr. brought his daughter Kaya-Evdokia by helicopter to see the animals at the 12 Months Private Zoo, which is located outside the city. And then spotters (people whose hobby is observing, counting and photographing aircraft) filmed the athlete at the controls of a 2019 Bell 505 helicopter with tail number UR-KEK. On this black streamlined colossus, he was repeatedly seen over the village of Lyutezh, where the residence of the boxer brothers is located, where the construction of a helipad was recently completed right on the shore of the Kiev Sea. In the registry, this helicopter is registered with the Svitoden company.
