At JetExpo, Western manufacturers optimistic about Russian market

Moscow’s JetExpo 2010 show last month provided evidence of strengthening demand for business aviation in the upper reaches of the Russian market. However, it is demand from the Russian government itself, rather than private companies or individuals, that seems to be leading this trend.

JetExpo itself has seen a marked decline in terms of exhibitor numbers over the past few years, falling from 91 in 2008 to 58 this year. The show is split between indoor exhibits at the Russian capital’s Crocus Expo center and a static display at Vnukovo Airport.
