Private Jet St Moritz to Nizhny Novgorod

From St Moritz to Nizhny Novgorod is a journey of some 1,399 nautical miles, joining the legendary Alpine resort of the Engadine with the Russian merchant city set where the Volga and Oka rivers meet. A crossing of this length is well matched to the mid-size and super-mid-size categories, where an aircraft such as the Challenger 350 or the Gulfstream G280 delivers the range, pace and comfort the route deserves. Both climb comfortably to altitudes around 43,000 to 45,000 feet, rising above the peaks for a smooth and direct passage, and both offer a refined stand-up cabin in which passengers may work or unwind as the miles pass. Departures are arranged from Engadin Airport, one of Europe’s highest, whose Alpine setting makes for a memorable and thoroughly private start close to the resort. Nizhny Novgorod awaits at the far end, offering a striking counterpoint to the frozen lakes and glittering slopes of the Engadine. Its ancient Kremlin crowns the high bank above two mighty rivers, its handsome streets recall the days when the city hosted the Empire’s largest fair, and its riverside setting is among the most impressive in Russia. Long known as Gorky, the city is today a vibrant centre of culture, industry and river commerce. This route suits private travellers and families moving between an exclusive Alpine retreat and the Volga who value discretion and flexibility. For those who wish to leave the mountains for the great rivers without the delay of scheduled routing, the mid-size cabin provides the range and comfort to make the journey seamless and private, ensuring travellers arrive composed and ready to appreciate all that this remarkable Russian city has to offer.
