The number of business jets in Russia could grow massively to around 1,700 by 2030, according to a report commissioned by the JetExpo show in Moscow.

Russian businessmen, who see private aircraft as a 'must have' tool for corporate success, are fuelling increasing orders for jets and turboprops. Others are chartering aircraft for international business missions. "Moscow airports are handling more than 100 business flights a day", says Alexander Yevdokimov, general director of the exhibition Jet Expo.
