the helicopter, owned by Vityaz-Aero, was carrying out a trip to the volcano. Designed during the Soviet-era, the Mi-8 helicopter remains popular and widely used in Russia.
Vladimir Solodov said it had 19 passengers and three crew members on board.
The aerial search continuing into the night but there was poor visibility.
Others have joined the search on foot, along the Bystraya River valley, along which the helicopter was supposed to move.
The mountainous Kamchatka peninsula – more than 6,000 km (3,730 miles) east of Moscow – is popular among tourists.
But there have been several air crashes over the years – two in just two months in 2021 alone.
