NATO has funded and let a contract for helicopter lift (cargo only) across the Afghanistan area of operations. The winning contractor was Mesopotamia Group. The contract start date was 1 Feb 08. There have been some delays in achieving full operational capability. The Southern Region (which is predominately where the British are) will benefit the most from this contract. The Southern Region will have 5 x Mi-17 and one small fixed wing AN-28 aircraft.
