The Kunovice-based company had faced existential difficulties after sanctions were imposed on Russia, which was almost its only market at the time. The famous L 410 aircraft thus effectively returned home after many years. Richard Háva’s vision was not only to save this legendary turboprop aircraft, of which Omnipol had historically sold hundreds around the world, but also to return it to where it belongs – the global market.
