Frequently Asked Questions?

What routes and missions are turboprop aircraft suitable for?

Turboprops are ideal for flights of up to 1,500–2,000 km: Almaty–Tashkent, Moscow–Kazan, Astana–Almaty. They thrive on short, unpaved runways: the Pilatus PC-12 lands at 750 meters, making them accessible to thousands of sites that a jet simply can't reach. They cost one and a half to two times less per hour than a jet, and over distances of up to 1,000 km, the time penalty is only 15–25 minutes.

What is the range and passenger capacity of turboprop aircraft?

Single-engine aircraft carry 4–9 passengers: the TBM 960 seats six and ranges 3,200 km, and the Pilatus PC-12 NGX seats up to nine and ranges 3,400 km. The twin-engine King Air 360ER carries eight passengers for almost 5,000 km. The cruising speed of this class is 500–610 km/h. A rule of thumb: a full seat load reduces the maximum range by 20–301 TP80T.

How is a turboprop aircraft different from a light jet?

The jet is faster—750–850 km/h versus 500–610—and flies higher, avoiding turbulence. The turboprop offers better fuel economy: 220–350 l/h versus 500–700, an hourly rental from $1,800 versus $3,000+, plus access to short unpaved runways. On routes up to 1,000 km, the time difference is less than half an hour, so it's better to fly a turboprop for short legs, and a jet for long ones.

How much does it cost to fly an hour on a turboprop airplane?

Turboprop rental costs between $1,800 and 3,200 rubles per flight hour: the PC-12 and TBM are closer to the lower end, while the twin-engine King Air 360 is closer to the upper end. A flight from Almaty to Shymkent will cost approximately $4,000 to 6,000 rubles, and from Moscow to St. Petersburg, $5,000 to 7,000 rubles. This is one and a half to two times cheaper than a light jet on the same route, with a time difference of 15-20 minutes.

How to rent a private jet?

To book a private jet, simply contact us by phone or submit a request on our website. Tell our managers your desired dates, route, and number of guests. Based on this information, we will prepare the best private jet charter options for you. Once you select the appropriate business jet, we will sign the contract, and you can make payment. We will then ask you to provide a passenger list and any onboard service requirements, and your flight will be fully organized. On the day of departure, a ready-to-fly aircraft and professional crew will be waiting for you.

How to choose an aircraft when buying an airplane?

Key selection criteria include the number of passengers, the planned range of the private flight, and your budget. These parameters determine the aircraft type and size, which directly impacts the level of comfort and the final cost of the charter. Our specialists will provide detailed advice, present several models to choose from, and clearly demonstrate their differences to help you make an informed decision.

What is included in the price of buying a private jet?

The final price of a private jet charter is a comprehensive package. It includes an aircraft with an experienced crew, VIP lounge services (if available at the departure/arrival airport), premium onboard meals, and all required airport taxes. You can also add any additional services to make your business jet charter as convenient as possible.

Can I change the conditions of the booked flight?

Safety is our top priority. Every business jet available for charter undergoes regular maintenance and has all necessary permits. All pilots hold valid licenses and continually improve their skills in regular simulator training and courses. Therefore, a private flight with us is not only comfortable but also completely reliable.

How is the flight safe? What is the level of training of the pilots?

Of course, you can change the flight conditions, and we will make every effort to ensure that all changes are carried out.

How far in advance should I book my flight?

It's best to book 1-2 days before departure, but if there's an available aircraft, urgent flights within a few hours are also possible. The earlier you book, the wider the selection of suitable aircraft.
