Best private jet company in Russia: Top 5 2026

How we built this ranking

Discussing private jets in Russia in 2026 requires a particular approach. The market exists, operators are active, but the regulatory context has changed profoundly since 2022. Our objective here is purely informational: to present the main players factually and neutrally, without encouraging any circumvention of the rules in force. For this comparison, we used four criteria:

• Compliance: ability to operate in strict compliance with the law and sanctions.
• Establishment and reputation: longevity, airport base, recognized seriousness.
• Fleet: diversity and quality of operated aircraft.
• Service: availability, support and coverage of needs.

Full transparency: we are ourselves an independent broker, and this ranking reflects our point of view, particularly on the compliance dimension. We own that, while presenting the other players factually.

Private aviation and Russia: what the sanctions say

Since March 2022, aircraft registered in Russia (registration RA-XXXX) as well as aircraft operated by Russian carriers are banned from airspace in the European Union, United States, United Kingdom and Canada. In practice, a jet based in Russia can no longer land in or fly over these territories.

Flights that remain possible therefore pass through neutral countries: Turkey, the United Arab Emirates or Central Asian states frequently serve as transit points. Maintenance of aircraft is further complicated by restrictions on the sale of Western-origin parts and services, which weighs on the operation of fleets based in Russia.

Private Jets Connect operates only within a framework fully compliant with sanctions and applicable regulations. This article is strictly informational and does not in any way encourage circumvention of the restrictive measures.

1. Private Jets Connect, our #1 choice

For an international clientele whose trips touch, directly or indirectly, on Russia, the first reflex must be compliance. That is precisely where Private Jets Connect’s strength lies. As an independent broker, we organize flights in strict compliance with the sanctions and regulations in force. We own no aircraft and have no interest in promoting one fleet over another.

Our role is to put compliant operators serving authorized destinations in competition, with full transparency on price and a single point of contact available 24/7. We never organize operations designed to circumvent restrictive measures: when a trip is not legally feasible, we say so clearly and propose authorized alternatives.

It’s this combination — rigorous compliance, independence and access to the legal market — that places us at the top of this ranking. We own that, while presenting below the main Russia-based operators in a strictly factual manner.

2. RusJet

RusJet is a private jet operator based at Moscow Vnukovo airport, the hub of Russian business aviation. Its fleet includes recognized aircraft in the segment, among them Bombardier Global 5000 and 6000, Dassault Falcon 900EX, Embraer Legacy 650 and an Airbus A319CJ.

This range covers both regional routes and long-haul trips, at least within the limits imposed by the current regulatory context. We present it here for purely informational purposes, without an external link.

3. Sirius-Aero

Founded in 1999 and based at Moscow Vnukovo, Sirius-Aero is among the long-established players in business charter in Russia. The company offers charter flights to domestic Russian destinations as well as abroad, within the framework of applicable rules.

Its longevity makes it a well-known name in the Russian domestic market. As with the other operators in this ranking, this presentation is strictly factual and contains no link.

4. Premier Avia

Premier Avia is presented as the leading business jet operator at Moscow Sheremetyevo airport. Its fleet notably includes a Boeing 737-700 BBJ and an Embraer EMB-135BJ, with announced 24/7 availability.

Premier Avia’s positioning at Sheremetyevo, one of Moscow’s major hubs, makes it a reference player in local business aviation. Factual presentation, no link.

5. Gazpromavia

Gazpromavia is an operator tied to the Gazprom group. It operates a large fleet of aircraft and helicopters and has a distinctly corporate orientation, serving in particular the transport needs of a major industrial group.

Its size and the diversity of its aircraft make it one of the country’s highest-volume operators. We cite it here for informational purposes, without an external link.

In summary

The private jet market in Russia remains active, with established operators such as RusJet, Sirius-Aero, Premier Avia and Gazpromavia, primarily positioned in Moscow (Vnukovo and Sheremetyevo). But in 2026, the central issue is no longer just fleet or service: it’s compliance. Since March 2022, RA-XXXX aircraft are banned from the airspace of the EU, United States, United Kingdom and Canada, and routings pass through neutral countries.

For an international clientele, the right reflex is to rely on a player that masters this legal framework end to end. That is the promise of Private Jets Connect: access to the authorized market, in full transparency, without ever seeking to circumvent sanctions.
