Despite a challenging economic climate, business aviation is finding its footing in Russia, as some 8,000 visitors attended JetExpo at Moscow’s Vnukovo-3 last month. This year’s event attracted 100 exhibitors, with 25 airplanes and seven helicopters on the static display.

Most of the business jets on the static line were built outside Russia and some–the Hawker 4000, Learjet 60XR, Piaggo Avanti II, Socata TBM 700, Pilatus PC-12 NG and Airbus Corporate Jetliner–were making their Russian debut.
