Emperor Aviation of Moscow has taken delivery of a Gulfstream G650. It is the tenth jet to be operated by the company for management and is the first of this type in the fleet.

“We are proud to operate one of the most respected aircraft in business aviation. Its delivery reinforces the high level of trust the biggest clients in Russia have in us,” comments owner Irakli Litanishvili.

The model is the 120th G650 delivered by the manufacturer. Emperor staff oversaw the entire delivery cycle, from production follow-up which lasted for a year through to the acceptance of the jet onto the company's Maltese AOC.

Emperor's AOC in Malta offers clients a favourable tax code and flights across EU member states. “This AOC guarantees the business jet owner transparency, reliability and financial stability; the right to fly the flag of Malta can only be obtained by operators having a dedicated, fully staffed office on the island,” explains Litanishvili.

The operator has been active in the market since 2013 and is part of Aim of Emperor Group. Its fleet comprises the Global XRS, Global 5000, Falcon 7X, Embraer Legacy 600, Hawker 4000, and now the G650.
