Jetalliance Aviation Group and Aeroflot Russian Airlines have formed a joint-venture company called Jetalliance East to offer charter services within Russia. Yesterday, Cessna Aircraft and Jetalliance signed a leasing agreement for a new Citation CJ3 and a Sovereign for the venture. The two jets will be based at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport and will be operated under a Russian air operator’s certificate (AOC) that Jetalliance and Aeroflot have applied for.

“This is the first time that Citations will be operated commercially in Russia,” said Michael Holy, director of marketing for Jetalliance Aviation Group. The joint venture expects to obtain the AOC within weeks then immediately launch flight operations in Russia.
