Little is known about Mongolian operator Zorte Air, which was first publicly seen operating two Mi-8 helicopters in Malawi in April 2023. It seems the company was founded in late 2022 or early 2023, obtaining at least two former russian registered Mi-8's. JU-5888 shown here taxing out with 3000kgs of relief supplies, was previously registered as RA-27149. Together with JU-5008 and over a period of 3 month, it conducted some 250 flights, transporting 750 tonnes of material during "Operation Tigwirane Manja 2023", the relief efforts after cyclone Freddy hit Malawi in March 2023.
