Business aviation operators in Russia

Russian business aviation operators manage aircraft and organize charter flights from Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other cities. This list is equally useful when chartering an airplane in Russia and at purchasing an airplane in Russia. We'll select the right aircraft and operator for your needs.

Commercial flights in the country are overseen by the national regulator: Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsia)

Questions about operators: Russia

How many business aviation operators are there in Russia?

According to open data, there are 53 operators based in 31 cities: Bratsk, Krasnoyarsk North, Cherepovets (ULWC), Moscow (Domodedovo), Barnaul, and Irkutsk. The list is verified against open sources and updated as changes occur.

What types of aircraft do operators have in Russia?

Local companies' fleets include the Mil Mi-8T, Bell 429, GlobalRanger, Cessna 208B, Bombardier CRJ200, Sukhoi Superjet, and Tupolev Tu-134B-3. We select the appropriate aircraft for the task from this fleet and from aircraft in neighboring countries.

Why look at the operator's AOC?

An air operator certificate (AOC) is issued by the aviation authorities of the country of registration and defines flight regulations, crew requirements, and dispute resolution procedures. Flights are always operated by the operator, not the broker, so their approvals are verified before a booking is confirmed.

Market data and sources

IS-BAO (IBAC): an air operator certificate confirms the right to fly commercially, while the independent standard shows how procedures are built inside the company
ARGUS: an operator audit checks crew experience, safety history and fleet condition — before booking, not after
NBAA: three quarters of business aviation operators fly a single aircraft, so availability is checked for every individual flight
