Do I need to take a coronavirus test before flying an airplane?

In short, when flying within Russia between regions, a certificate of the absence of coronavirus is not required. A certificate is currently requested only when crossing the border of the Russian Federation.

Russians arriving from abroad will fill out questionnaires on the website of state services "in order to ensure sanitary and quarantine control" at checkpoints across the border with Russia. From August 1, the questionnaires must be filled in when purchasing a ticket, but no later than check-in for the flight. In addition, citizens of the Russian Federation within three days after arriving in Russia will have to undergo a laboratory test for coronavirus infection COVID-19 using the PCR method and post its results on the public services portal by filling out the form. The document also says that foreigners arriving in Russia will need to have a certificate of absence of coronavirus when boarding the plane. The PCR test must be completed no earlier than three days before the trip, and its results must be presented in a medical document in Russian or English. Foreign citizens must also fill out an application form arriving in Russia, a sample of which is posted on the Rospotrebnadzor website. For foreigners arriving in the Russian Federation with the purpose of "work" must undergo mandatory self-isolation within 14 days.

With or without test: how to check information before the flight

Before you go on a trip, you need to check if a PCR test for Covid-19 is required upon arrival. Having bought a ticket or a flight to the country, it is better to make a test on time, and not find out about it at the airport at the check-in counter.

Where to monitor testing information? If you are flying by plane, information on testing can be viewed on the IATA - International Air Carrier Association website www.iatatravelcentre.com. In the Passport, Visa and Health section, you need to indicate the date of issue and expiration of the passport, birthday and citizenship, as well as the number of days of stay in the country where the flight is planned. As a result, the site will show the need for a PCR test, at what deadline before arrival it must be done. And also whether you need a visa and return tickets on hand to be allowed into the country.

In case of refusal to visit the country, the reasons for which arose through no fault of yours, our company returns the paid amount, subject to the conditions specified in the contract.

ffThe rules for staying in quarantine are regulated by the country of destination. If you find it difficult to obtain information, contact your personal manager to clarify the details or see the restrictions on our section of the website COVID -19

A private jet is called an administrative aircraft - an aircraft used in the interests of one client (individual or organization), the owner of the aircraft. Such transport does not work on regular flights, flies exclusively on individual routes and most often operates flights of the owner of the aircraft or his friends and partners.

A business jet is an aircraft that is at the complete disposal of the customer to fly in the direction he needs.


Private jets can be:

Own - the owner (individual or company) solely owns the equipment, pilots it independently or uses the services of hired pilots.
Executive business charter (business charters) - the lessee charters aircraft for a charter flight together with the crew and attendants.
Fractional ownership (in partial ownership) - a businessman buys part of the flying time, which gives him the opportunity to use the ship if necessary.

Today, a charter in aviation is a contract for ordering aircraft to transport passengers along a specific route at a predetermined time. In English, the word "charter" is translated as a charter, charter or treaty. Initially, the term "freight" was applied only to sea transportation. Then, with the advent of cargo "aeronautics", the term "air freight" appeared - and the concept of freight began to be applied to air transportation. In modern terminology, the word "freight" can also be heard in relation to land modes of transport (land freight). Airfreight. With the help of aircraft, you can quickly move urgent and expensive goods: for example, medicines or spare parts that are needed immediately, cultural property and jewelry. The cost of transportation depends on: the size of the goods, the airport of departure, the airport of destination, the name of the goods, the weight of the cargo, the cost of the product.

In order to transport the goods, the customer concludes a charter agreement with the contractor. The charterer (customer) undertakes to pay for the services of the transport company, and the charterer (order executor) is responsible for the delivery of the goods to the destination specified in the contract.

Chartering is also called a contract, according to which one party (the charterer) provides the other (the charterer) with a vehicle in whole or in part for a specified period, to perform certain work, for one or more flights.

A charter flight or charter is a flight that is not indicated in the schedule of regular airlines.

Aircraft charter is a pre-order service for a charter or private aircraft, according to the individual schedule of the client.

Business aviation — a sector of civil aviation that specializes in the development, production, operation, and maintenance of aviation equipment designed for individual and corporate flights, as well as providing related services.

Administrative aircraft (business aircraft, (slang) business jet) — a type of aircraft intended for the transportation of officials from government institutions and commercial organizations. Aircraft in this category have a passenger cabin that can comfortably accommodate between 6 to 8 up to 15 to 20 people, depending on the specific type of aircraft; such aircraft are equipped with electronic devices that allow passengers to work during the flight.

De-icing is the process of removing ice and snow from an aircraft. De-icing is necessary when the aircraft's surface needs to be cleared of ice and snow to prevent icing during takeoff and climb. Generally, this procedure is relevant only at very low temperatures during the winter season.

Private jets fly at varying speeds depending on the type of aircraft. For example, the fastest civilian plane in the world is the Citation, but many smaller planes, including VLJ (Very Light Jet) aircraft, fly at relatively lower speeds compared to commercial airline jets. The time saved on private flights is primarily on the ground. With minimal check-in time and no delays from waiting for baggage or going through customs, flights on private jets take less time than those on commercial airlines. In terms of long-haul flights, air traffic control can offer more route shortening options to private jets than to commercial airline aircraft, as most private jets have a higher rate of climb and can operate at altitudes greater than regular commercial airline planes.

Standard restrictions, just like on regular flights.

You need to arrive at the airport just 20-30 minutes before your flight! If you have a lot of luggage, are traveling with pets, or if the departure airport is very crowded, delays may occur in case of late arrival. We recommend arriving at the airport a bit earlier in these situations. You will definitely be informed in advance about each such case.

Renting a private jet involves booking the entire aircraft. However, we also offer a service for seat-by-seat jet rental. This way, you can rent one or more seats on the plane and save significantly.

As a rule, the price of the flight does not change when additional passengers are added. The only exceptions may be small surcharges for using a VIP terminal at certain airports. Additionally, it is important to consider the technical specifications of the aircraft, which are unique to each flight. Therefore, if you need to add extra passengers, please let us know as soon as possible so we can check everything and obtain the necessary confirmations and permissions.

Typically, there is an additional charge of 500 euros for each extra passenger for a one-way flight.

Price between $1,300 and $3,000 per flying hour for a turboprop or smaller jet plane, which typically seats 4 to 6 passengers; between $4,000 and $8,000 per flying hour for a midsize jet, which typically accommodates up to 9 passengers; and between $8,600 and $13,000 per flying hour for larger private jets, which usually seat from 14 to 19 passengers. You can see how that translates into a cross-country flight below.

How much will your jet charter cost? The price depends on aircraft size, the distance and locations you are traveling, trip duration and other factors. We have a large, diverse charter fleet, and access to thousands of aircraft around the globe. You will have the perfect jet for your next flight.

The cost for a six-hour cross-country private jet charter flight

  • On a turboprop or smaller private jet: $7,800 to $18,000 (4 to 6 passengers)
  • On a midsize private jet: $24,000 to $48,000 (up to 9 passengers)
  • On a large private jet: $51,600 to $78,000 (14 to 19 passengers)

In simple terms, a charter flight is operated at the request of and paid for by the client, outside of the regular schedule. To put it even more simply, a charter is a booked flight, including the entire aircraft, crew, catering, and passenger services according to the required schedule and route.

A business jet is a passenger aircraft designed for maximum convenience and comfort for VIP individuals. It is most commonly used by businessmen, officials, and wealthy people for travel around the world. It offers them high comfort during the flight (VIP catering, flowers, showers, beds, television, telephone, internet, music, etc.). A business jet serves as a fully equipped office with all amenities, including showers and bathrooms. As a result, passengers feel refreshed after long flights. This is supported by the reliability and professionalism of the crew, as well as the safety of the aircraft.

All airports that have ICAO and IATA codes. The main limitation is the length and width of the runway for a specific type of aircraft.

In most cases, your delay is not a problem and your private jet will wait for you. However, since changing the departure time and processing permits and documents for a different departure time can lead to additional delays, we ask that you inform us in advance about any possible delays. Each situation is considered individually, and the possibility of rescheduling the departure for a later time depends on a variety of different factors.

A private jet is primarily designed for your comfort. Onboard a rented aircraft, you can have anything from a simple couch to fully equipped sleeping rooms with dedicated rest areas and shower cabins. Our aviation consultants will ensure that your flight is as comfortable as possible. For long-haul flights, we will select a private jet with the most convenient sleeping arrangements for you! If you are traveling with children, you may find it convenient to use a jet with a couch even for short flights. We will definitely discuss all the details with you and recommend the best options.

All laws and regulations regarding customs control, as well as safety rules, apply to business aviation just as they do to any other civil aviation flights. In almost all VIP terminals, an expedited customs control procedure is conducted, allowing you to save a significant amount of time. Everything will proceed as quickly as possible and without unnecessary stress.

Understanding how valuable your time is, in many airports we can arrange the necessary permits for you, so your limousine can meet you right at the airplane's steps!

A charter flight is not tied to the schedule of regular flights and has individual parameters for time and route. The flight can be carried out even if there is no regular air service to the destination. Services are ordered according to the client's wishes.

Practically any aircraft that has been approved for passenger flights by official authorities. This ranges from small helicopters used for tours and transfers to large corporate business jets based on passenger airliners. The rental period depends on the client's preferences.

Renting a private jet allows you to fly to any destination in the world from any location, at any time, regardless of whether a regular airline has that destination on its schedule.

All business jets, except for the very light class, as well as large turboprop aircraft, have a private restroom cabin.

It is well known that aviation, in general, is the safest mode of transportation. This is even more true for business aviation. Private jets available for rent are operated less frequently than commercial airline aircraft, resulting in less wear and tear and undergoing more thorough inspections. Pilots are subjected to strict selection processes and have ample rest time between flights.

During the pandemic, renting a private jet proves to be the best way to avoid infection while traveling to another country. There will be no random people in the cabin, and boarding the aircraft is typically done through dedicated terminals for business aviation (when available at the airport). This allows passengers to avoid being in large crowds. For domestic flights, where passport control is not required, boarding is usually done directly from the car in the overwhelming majority of cases.

You can pay for an individual charter flight via bank transfer, credit card, or cash. Please note that when paying by credit card, financial institutions may charge small fees.

The number of crew members depends on the type of aircraft. For sports planes and small turboprop aircraft, a safe flight is typically ensured by one professional pilot. However, most jet aircraft require a crew of two professional pilots along with cabin staff.

Of course, you can request additional cabin staff on almost any aircraft.

Depending on the type of aircraft chosen, you can transport skis, golf equipment, and other special cargo. During the order discussion, please let us know if you wish to charter such an aircraft. We will develop the optimal solution for you.

The aircraft will be ready for departure within 3-4 hours from the time the request is received. During this time, organizational matters will be addressed, and the aircraft and crew will be selected.

Like any purchase, renting a private flight can be done with cash or cashless payment methods. You can use a credit card or a bank transfer. Please note that when making a transaction using a credit card, the bank may charge a fee.

In accordance with our company's policy, payment for the rental must be made before the flight begins.

"Tourism service providers are constantly raising hygiene standards to ensure the safety of travelers and instill confidence in them. Currently, airlines and airports are implementing enhanced sanitary measures to minimize risks for passengers. For complete peace of mind, it is also recommended to take personal actions to protect against the coronavirus during flights: for example, regularly washing hands, carrying personal hand sanitizer, and bringing a supply of antibacterial wipes."

Looking at flight statistics since the beginning of 2020, you can see that the share of private business aviation in the total number of flights has increased several times. Business jets with crews are booked for business trips, private journeys, and sending company representatives abroad.

In the context of the developing pandemic caused by the COVID-2019 virus, the number of regular flights is decreasing, and airlines are grounding large aircraft due to the increased risk of infection for passengers and crews. Renting a private plane is becoming the only reasonable solution in many cases.

Most aircraft in this category accommodate between 8 and 25 passengers. In such a group, the risk of infection is minimal. But this is not the main factor in favor of choosing business aviation. After each flight, our airline conducts a thorough cleaning of the aircraft cabin to eliminate any viruses.

We always clean the aircraft carefully, but during the epidemic, we have incorporated professional disinfection into our cleaning process. Each new flight is ensured to be completely safe for passengers and crew.

The client must present the original passport, and if there are children, their birth certificates must be provided. In the case of sending a minor child accompanied by other relatives, parents must confirm their consent with a notarized power of attorney. Citizens with limited physical abilities should present a disability certificate. After verifying the documents, the company will enter into a standard service agreement with the passenger.

Practically none — an Empty Leg is a predetermined route from the operator. Alternative routes with minimal deviation may exist, but they require additional payment or approval.

Most private jets are equipped with satellite phones, which are typically billed by the minute and cost around 1 US Dollar. WiFi is usually available on larger aircraft, as it requires additional transmitters for communication with satellites, resulting in extra weight. If you need these communication tools during your flight, we will offer you private jets equipped with a satellite phone and WiFi.

A flight can be organized to any civil or military airport (with assistance in obtaining landing permission at a military airport). This is very convenient, as you can choose the airport closest to your destination. The only limitation is the length of the runway. Contact our staff, and we will quickly check what type of private aircraft can land at a specific airport.

A pilot flying a specific type of private aircraft must have a license specifically for that type. Additionally, pilots undergo regular training (every six months) and certification.

On medium and large private jets, there are 3 crew members – a captain, a co-pilot, and a flight attendant. On light aircraft, the crew consists of a captain and a co-pilot, with the co-pilot also serving as the flight attendant. On VIP airliners, there are usually multiple flight attendants, and a flight engineer also travels with the aircraft.

At the request of passengers, the crew on any type of private jet can be augmented with an additional flight attendant for an extra fee.

Yes, it is possible. In this case, a certificate from the treating physician or clinic is required, stating that the passenger is cleared for flying. If the passenger's condition is serious, arrangements can be made for a flight on a special medical aircraft, which includes a resuscitation doctor and an assistant in the crew, as well as a set of resuscitation and life-support equipment. Additionally, it is possible to arrange an ambulance to be directly on the platform.

Yes, this is possible. The only limitation is the physical number of seats on the plane. If the aircraft is designed for 8 seats, there is no possibility to accommodate a 9th passenger, even if it is a child under 2 years old. The plane is equipped with exactly the number of oxygen masks for emergencies as there are physical seats available.

Depending on the aircraft's capacity, weight, potential flight range, and speed, there are four classes of airplanes:

  • Small. An ideal option for flights between cities. Their flight range does not exceed 2,500 km, and they can accommodate 2-4 people.
  • Medium. Capable of carrying nine passengers on board. Their maximum flight range is 4,000 km, which allows for domestic flights.
  • Large. Aircraft that can cover distances of up to 6,500 km and accommodate 12 passengers. Suitable for both domestic flights and those to nearby countries.
  • liners. Perfect for intercontinental flights. They can cover distances of up to 18,000 km and comfortably accommodate between 10 and 80 passengers on board.

With each price quote, you will receive real photographs of the aircraft.

From the available options, we can select new vessels or conduct a selection based on another criterion. Just specify this when you make your request to the manager.

Special requests for in-flight meals can almost always be accommodated, as most private jet airports have agreements with catering companies or nearby restaurants and hotels.

Flights are available for all residents of Russia and other countries, regardless of their place of residence. This service is particularly in demand in a number of cases:

  • when there are no tickets available for regular flights and for less popular destinations;
  • when a short flight of up to 4 hours is required;
  • for family trips with children and elderly relatives;
  • if there is a desire to reduce contact with other people during the flight;
  • for the necessity of an urgent individual trip without the costs of chartering an entire plane.

Jet Sharing is rapidly gaining popularity among people who have never rented a private jet before and wish to experience the advantages of business aviation.

We are closely monitoring the situation and are in constant contact with official representatives from airports, airlines, and government agencies. At the moment, all flights are operating as usual, provided that passengers have the necessary documents.

When you first start choosing aircraft options, you may easily feel overwhelmed by the vast number of aspects to consider among the available alternatives.

There are many private jets available, and selecting the right one is certainly not a straightforward task! Here are a few questions you can ask yourself to narrow down your options:

  1. Who? How many people are traveling? Is it a small or large group?
  2. What? What will I be doing on board – working, relaxing, spending time with other travelers in my group?
  3. Where? Where exactly are we planning to fly? Is it a local, regional, transcontinental, or transatlantic flight? Do I want a non-stop flight or am I okay with refueling stops?
  4. How? How quickly do I need to get to my destination?
  5. Is there a specific interior space, cabin configuration, mobility, catering, and luggage requirements?
  6. Do I have any specific requirements regarding speed, amenities, noise level in the cabin, smoothness at high altitude, etc.?
  7. What is my budget?
  8. What does my charter broker recommend?

Finding the optimal option on your own can be challenging. That’s why it’s advisable to describe all the details of your upcoming flight and your preferences for comfort and service as thoroughly as possible to our managers when placing your order. Our qualified specialists are here to help you book a private aircraft that perfectly meets your needs.

A private jet, or private airplane, is a business aviation aircraft with a private registration. 

You can rent a private jet and fly around the world with JETVIP.

Most often, a business jet can accommodate up to nineteen people.

A business-jet is a small airplane designed for transporting VIP passengers to business meetings and leisure trips.

Business jets are distinguished by a high level of comfort and convenience. The cabin is finished with luxurious materials and resembles an office more than a traditional aircraft interior. It features comfortable chairs, tables, relaxation areas with real beds, and a shower. Everything a business person needs is available on board – internet access, telephony, and television. VIP catering is offered, tailored to the client's preferences. The highest level of service, complete confidentiality, and safety are guaranteed.

The heaviest airplane is the Ukrainian cargo giant An-225 Mriya. The record payload capacity set by the An-225 exceeds 253 tons! This aircraft was built during the Soviet era based on the An-124 "Ruslan," with only two units manufactured for transporting the space shuttle "Buran." Mriya is also the longest airplane in the world.

In terms of wingspan, the largest airplane ever to take to the skies is the flying boat Hughes H-4 Hercules, which, however, completed only one flight in 1947.

For passenger capacity, the record holder is the double-deck Airbus A-380-800, which can accommodate 644 passengers in a two-class configuration and is theoretically capable of carrying over 800 people in a full economy configuration.

These parts of the wing are called winglets or wingtips. The vertical position of the wings ensures increased flight efficiency. Winglets reduce turbulence in the air near the wing. How was this discovered? By observing birds! They are experts in efficient flight, which means they can teach us a lot. An interesting fact: the winglets on the Airbus A330 reach up to 2.5 meters!

The practice of naming aircraft is common among most commercial airlines. For example, this is done by the Russian airline Aeroflot as well as the Franco-Dutch company Air France-KLM. Although the exact reasons for naming planes have been lost over the years, the very first aircraft of KLM had a nickname based on its registration: DD, Dikke Dirk ("Fat Dirk").

More than 80% of people are afraid of flying.

Acrophobia is the fear of heights. Unlike more specific phobias, such as aerophobia—the fear of flying in airplanes—acrophobia manifests in various situations when it comes to being "a little above the ground." A person suffering from acrophobia may feel fear while looking out from a window on the fourteenth floor of a building or simply while standing on a ladder. It all depends on the severity of the phobia.

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is recognized as the busiest airport in the world by passenger traffic (over 260,000 passengers daily since 1998) and by takeoffs and landings (over 970,000 takeoffs and landings per year since 2005). In 2012, nearly 95 million passengers were transported.

In fact, the age of an aircraft is measured not by time, but by pressurization cycles. Each time the aircraft's fuselage is subjected to pressure during flight, it negatively impacts its technical condition. The "lifespan" of an aircraft depends on the "fatigue" of the metal and the number of cracks it has. In most cases, a 20-year-old aircraft has around 51,000 flight hours and 75,000 pressurization cycles. If the aircraft is used for long-haul flights, it undergoes fewer pressurization cycles, and therefore, such an aircraft may serve for more than 20 years.

During the pandemic, the demand for business aviation increased by nearly 40% – is this just interesting arithmetic or a necessary measure? Not at all.

The restrictions on international flights left an incredible number of travelers stranded, desperately seeking solutions to return home. This is where business aviation came into play. Private jets evacuated thousands of people from foreign countries. For those with children studying abroad or for those who couldn't book a regular commercial flight, renting a private jet became the only way to get back home. A huge advantage is that the number of passengers on private flights is limited. In addition to comfortable and immediate transportation back to their home country, there’s the added bonus of a minimal chance of contracting anything on board the aircraft.

Moreover, private aviation has become a sort of genie for those who cannot work without flying. International flights are temporarily blocked, but crossing air borders is not prohibited. In this case, renting a nimble business jet is the best idea. Those who have used private jets multiple times know well that on board a private plane, one can not only travel comfortably through the skies. Holding negotiations in a luxurious conference room or utilizing high-speed internet to monitor work processes via Skype – each person can choose what suits them best.

Advantages of Private Aviation During the COVID-19 Pandemic

To the most popular question, “When will the world return to its usual pace and hundreds of planes take to the skies again?” there is still no answer, even from the most reputable clairvoyants. Nevertheless, we must come to terms with the current realities and wait for international air travel to reopen with all countries.

Private aviation knows how to sweeten the pill. What bonuses does this industry offer?

As of today, it's clear that the topic of coronavirus will not soon leave the news headlines or people's minds. Therefore, the issue of social distancing will remain in focus. On a private plane, health safety is the top priority. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, the number of passengers on board typically does not exceed 8-13 people – most often, these are your acquaintances. Secondly, private flights undergo a separate check-in process. One can blissfully forget about long queues and the risk of being near a passenger who sneezes unexpectedly. Thirdly, conducting the necessary sanitization on small business jets is much simpler.

As of November 10, 2020, Russia officially opened air travel with 14 countries:
 
1. Turkey
2. Tanzania (Zanzibar)
3. Maldives
4. United Kingdom
5. Switzerland
6. United Arab Emirates

People returning from abroad are required to take a coronavirus test. You have three days to do this. Most often, testing can be done right at the arrival airport. If that's not possible, you can visit a private clinic. Until you receive your test results, you must observe quarantine. During this time, you cannot leave your home, even for grocery shopping, getting medications, or taking out the trash. If necessary, ask friends or relatives for help, use online services, or contact social services and volunteers.

At Vnukovo-3, you can take a test directly in the terminal for a price starting from 2800 rubles. Results are ready within 4 to 14 hours.

After that, you need to upload the result to Gosuslugi.

According to the Resolution of the Chief State Sanitary Doctor of the Russian Federation dated July 27, 2020, No. 22 as of July 15, 2020, Russian citizens arriving from foreign countries by air transport must submit a document with the results of the PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test for the new coronavirus infection to Rospotrebnadzor.

Russian citizens are required to provide the result of the coronavirus test taken within 3 days after returning to Russia. If the result is positive, you must remain in a 14-day quarantine at your place of residence.

The new coronavirus is a respiratory virus (the causative agent of acute respiratory viral infections). It is primarily transmitted through respiratory droplets when inhaling droplets released from the respiratory tract of an infected person, for example, during coughing or sneezing, as well as from saliva or nasal secretions. It can also spread when an infected person touches any contaminated surface, such as a doorknob. In this case, infection occurs when touching the mouth, nose, or eyes with dirty hands.

Data about countries with unfavorable epidemiological situations are available on the websites of the WHO and the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing (Rospotrebnadzor). These countries have reported at least one case of coronavirus. Arrivals from these countries must adhere to several requirements: call the hotline in their region, inform them of their arrival, provide their contact information, and enter a self-isolation mode for 14 days, meaning they should not leave their home.

If you are flying, you need to fill out a special form on the Unified Portal of State and Municipal Services in advance. This should be done after purchasing your airline ticket, but before checking in for your flight.

On board the airplane, you will also need to fill out a questionnaire for arrivals.

Within the first three days in Russia, you must take a coronavirus test and upload the result in the special form on the Unified Portal of State Services. You must observe self-isolation until you receive a negative result for the coronavirus test.

The schedule for evacuation flights is constantly updated and published on the website stopcoronavirus.rf in the #wewon'tabandonyou section.

This is a business jet flight that is operated without passengers — for example, the plane is returning to its base after a one-way charter or is moving on to its next flight. This "empty" leg is offered to other clients at a discount since the operator still needs to carry out the flight.

 Typically, the discount ranges from 20% to 75% off the full charter price, allowing for significantly cheaper flights while retaining all the advantages of business aviation.

Most often, availability appears 7 days before departure, and less frequently a couple of hours before the flight. The closer the date, the lower the risk of cancellation.
