From March 1 to 3, seven planes arrived in the city of Sahar in Oman, about 200 kilometers from Muscat. Among them was a Dassault Falcon 900C business jet, which is linked to former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.

According to media reports, the plane arrived in Sahar amid the escalating situation in the Middle East and subsequently flew toward Moscow.

In addition, a Tu-204-300 aircraft used by Roscosmos arrived in Sahar on March 2. It is reported that the flight was organized by GetJet, and the cost of a seat on board reached 20 thousand euros.

On March 3, Rusjet's Bombardier Global 5000 business jet arrived in the UAE city of Al-Fujairah and flew to Moscow the same day. According to journalists, this aircraft was previously rented by families of Russian officials and businessmen.

Also on March 2, a Mitsubishi Challenger 850 flew out of Dubai, which, according to investigators, is linked to the family of former Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev.

In general, journalists note that the activity of business aviation with Russian registration increased after the outbreak of hostilities in the region. Some flights were operated through countries that did not fully close their airspace.
