Aircraft Sukhoi Business Jet

The SBJ is the business version of the Superjet 100, produced since 2014. It features a cabin of approximately 60 m², 19–23 seats, a bedroom, and a conference room. It has a range with additional fuel tanks of up to 7,200 km (Moscow–Vladivostok nonstop). It is powered by SaM146 engines. It is the only business jet with a full production and support cycle in Russia—a sanctions-resistant solution for the CIS. The cabin features a flight attendant and hot meals. The baggage compartment is accessible in flight. Typical routes include Moscow–Goa, Almaty–Munich, and Tashkent–Nice.

The final price depends on the year, flight hours, engine life, and configuration. Send us a request – we will prepare a proposal, calculate maintenance, and analyze options tailored to your needs.

The SBJ is the business version of the Superjet 100 regional jet: a 60 m² cabin with 19–23 seats, a bedroom, a conference room, and a full-size galley. With additional fuel tanks, the range reaches 7,200 km—Moscow–Vladivostok or Almaty–London nonstop. Essentially, it's a ACJ/BBJ business jet, but with the price of a regional jet.

A VIP-configured SBJ costs $35–50 million rubles, compared to $90–130 million rubles for a new ACJ TwoTwenty or BBJ 737 MAX—a two- to three-fold difference with comparable cabin space. An hour of operation is also significantly cheaper due to lower fuel consumption and the availability of a technical base. The tradeoff is a shorter range and a relatively new service network outside the CIS.

For companies and families flying in groups of 10–20 people on routes within the CIS, to Asia, and the Middle East: delegations, executive shifts, and sports teams. For these types of missions, the SBJ replaces two large business jets, and service in Russia and Kazakhstan eliminates dependence on overseas hubs. For regular nonstop flights to the US, the class is not the same—the BBJ/ACJ or Global are needed.

Sukhoi is a Russian design bureau founded in 1939. The business version of the SBJ is based on the Superjet 100 regional jet (approximately 230 aircraft of this family have been produced). It is the only business jet with a full production and support cycle in Russia.

A business jet is a flying residence or headquarters: cabins of 60–270 square meters accommodate bedrooms, showers, meeting rooms for 8–12 people, and a staff area. Typical scenarios include flights for top government and corporate officials with delegations of 15–50 people, family trips with staff, and tours for artists and sports teams. Where even a Global would be cramped for a group, jetland begins.

ACJ TwoTwenty — 18 seats and 10,500 km; ACJ320neo — 25 seats and 11,100 km; BBJ 737-8 — 11,700 km with a cabin of 79 m²; Lineage 1000E — 19 seats and 8,500 km; Sukhoi Business Jet — 19-23 seats and up to 7,200 km. The wide-body ACJ330neo and BBJ 787 cover 17,000–18,500 km — any pair of cities on the planet without stopping.

The cabin area is 60–270 m² versus 25–40 m² for the Global and Gulfstream, adding full-size bedrooms, a shower, and a cinema. The downside: a jetliner requires runways of 2,000–2,500 m and full airport infrastructure; the hourly cost is one and a half to two times higher, and a cruiser is lower (M0.78–0.85 versus M0.90). A jetliner is more efficient for up to 12–15 passengers, while a jetliner is more efficient for more.

Fourteen aircraft: the Airbus ACJ line from the compact TwoTwenty to the wide-body ACJ350-9 (up to 19,000+ km), Boeing BBJ 737 MAX in three sizes and long-haul BBJ 787/777-8, Embraer Lineage 1000E with five cabin zones and Sukhoi Business Jet - 19-23 seats at half the price of Western analogues with service in the CIS.

Start with two figures: the typical route length and the number of passengers. Up to 1,000 km and 4 passengers – a turboprop or light jet; 2,000–4,000 km – a medium jet; nonstop intercontinental flights – a long-haul jet. Add adjustments for short runs, baggage volume, and berths. We'll select a model that matches your profile and calculate the economics of ownership.

A new aircraft comes with a factory warranty and a 1-3 year waiting list, but the price is maximum. A used aircraft offers immediate delivery and a lower price for the 30-60%, but it's important to check the engine life and history. For most buyers, a new aircraft, 3-7 years old, is optimal: the main discount has already been applied, and the aircraft still has a long service life. We consider both options.
