Russia's Jet Transfer may order three more Bell helicopters for operations out of its Vnukovo-3 base. "We have ordered a Bell 407 that will be used for corporate flights," confirms director Sergey Filatov. "We are considering the order of another 407, a 430 and a 429."

He says the 407 is a best-selling light helicopter in Russia because of its "price/quality ratio." Jet Transfer is sales representative of Bell Helicopters for Russia and specialises in management and charter and aircraft sales. It currently manages two Citation IIIs, a Challenger 604 and a Lear 60.

The Citations are operated only for charter while the Challenger and Lear aircraft are used for owner flights as well as charters.

Aircraft operate mostly from Moscow to Europe with the most popular destinations including London, Nice and Geneva.

Jet Transfer, established in 2004, is a member of Jet Group, which includes Jet Media and Jet Expo which runs the Russian international business aviation exhibition.
