In Russia, the biggest private aviation centre is the Vnukovo 3 airport. According to estimates, the airport handled more than 34,000 flights in 2015.
The most popular destination for private jets from Russia is Monaco. In particular, the Moscow-Nice route was the most frequently followed one last year. The largest number of flights has been made in May when the Formula 1 Grand Prix was held and in September when the Monako Yacht Show could be visited.
If you want to travel on the Moscow-Nice route in a light turboprop aircraft with four passenger seats, you'll have to pay about $50,000 ($25,000 one way).
There are more affordable offers on the market. For example, the US company Surf Air provides season tickets which cost $1,950 per month and allow flying in a private jet for 90 days without any restrictions. However, the distance of the flights is limited. Having such a ticket, you can travel to California (San Francisco, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara) and the nearest cities, such as Las Vegas.
Overall, the jet price and its operating cost largely depends on its size, production year and seat capacity. The Cessna 172 jet is the most popular one. The model made in 2005 costs $169,900, and if you'd like to buy a newer model of 2014, you'll have to pay $380,000.
