With bases already in Toulon, Saint Tropez and Le Bourget airports, Aviaxess Helicopter & Jet, the European business aviation company, now has a presence in Moscow. Frédéric Aguettant, Aviaxess’ president, and Charles Hergott, president of Allied Aviation, have signed a cooperation agreement for developing business airplane and helicopter transport in Russia.

An Aviaxess agency is now open in the centre of Moscow along with a base in Domodiedovo airport, Russia’s biggest airport, which transports 18,755,000 passengers annually. Aviaxess thus brings a fleet of 35 helicopters and 90 business jets to the Russian market.

This strategic positioning—at a time when the Russian market is becoming a regular user of business aviation—is perfectly in tune with the France-Russia Year. Aviaxess is thus helping to fulfil the wishes of the Heads of State of France and Russia by “sharing their spirit of initiative and their thirst for creation” according to Nicolas Sarkozy, and “opening new and useful perspectives for cooperation” according to Dmitri Medvedev.

Frédéric Aguettant himself is delighted with this new development, given that “Russia is a vast territory where scheduled airlines alone are unable to meet business travellers’ needs”.  He is particularly proud to be “taking part in a new joint aviation effort between the two countries”.
