At the International Business-Aviation Exhibition Jet Expo-2007 that took place in Moscow September 19-21, the company Airbus presented a new business-class jet A318 Elite. The liner belongs to the Swiss business air carrier Complux.
A318 Elite can carry up to 18 passengers and consists of several zones: gallery (for meetings and leisure), personal bedroom and study, crew zone, and several bathrooms. The jet’s salon was equipped by the company Lufthansa Technik.
According to the Airbus specialists, the market of business-aviation in Russia will continue growing. Thus, since 2000 the number of large business-jets (able to carry up to 14 passengers) in Russia has doubled from 75 to 145 jets. Airbus marks that Russia annually needs around 10 business-jets.
