In the face of severe sanctions against Russia because of its war in
Ukraine, wealthy Russians are using Turkish jets instead of their own
to reach various countries, so as not to be spotted.
Many Turkey-based firms renting airplanes have been doing a brisk
business these days with Russian flights. One person in this sector
stated that "There is no ban on Russia and Turkey regarding flights,
unlike in Europe. Insurance firms have warned about Russian flights
vis-a-vis insurance but since there's no war in the country this is not
a big problem for private jet operators."
In a report issued lately in Israel, last week seven private jets were
rented from Turkey, flew to Moscow and St. Petersburg, and from
there to Tel Aviv. Another person in this sector said that companies
are getting many requests from Russia and evaluating their
opportunities. To rent a private jet from Turkey and then come from
Russia to Istanbul costs $30,000 and if this jet continues on to Israel
the cost is $50,000.
After the steep rise in the dollar, some Turkish businessmen sold their
jets but many other jet owners have preferred to try to weather these
turbulent geopolitical times and meet the jets' expensive upkeep costs
with these rentals. Right now there are about 120 private jets in
Turkey. The English press has reported that Russian billionaire
Roman Abramovich came to Istanbul and Ankara last week on a
private jet from Moscow.

Seeing that so many people have had to leave their homes and flee
from Ukraine because of the war there, civil organizations, tourism
operators and businessmen in Kuşadası have extended a helping hand
to Ukrainian women and children who have sought shelter in
neighboring Moldova.
The night before last, 97 Ukrainians were brought to Izmir on a flight
from Kishniyev, Moldova's capital, and were then settled into hotels in
Kuşadası. Zara Samadi (34), who sheltered in Kyiv for 8 days, said
that "bombs rained down on us every day. I'm very glad to be in
Turkey." Zoriana Kolyadzhin (32), the mother of 3 children, added
that "my relatives are still in shelters there. Medicine and food are
finished. I want the war to be over and go back to my home."
Moldova is west of circled Crimea. Kuşadası is a bit south
of Izmir.
