Moscow — Phuket by private jet: 7,475 km, about 9 h 40 min in the air. Departure from Vnukovo (about 30 km southwest of the city centre, where Moscow’s main business-aviation terminal is), Ostafyevo (a small dedicated business-aviation field about 30 km south) or Sheremetyevo (about 30 km northwest), arrival at Phuket — Thailand’s largest island, on the Andaman Sea side of the country. We send a quote with named aircraft and a price within the hour, and we answer around the clock.
About this route
Almost ten hours in the air is not a flight, it is a night. That is exactly how this one is built: a late departure from Moscow, sleep in the cabin, morning on the island. It saves a whole day of the holiday and spares you having to catch up on sleep instead of going to the sea.
People fly here almost always as families and parties, often for a long stay. The baggage matches: suitcases for several weeks, children’s things, sometimes boards and equipment. So for Phuket we choose the aircraft on two numbers at once — how many passengers and how many cubic metres travel with them — rather than on seating capacity alone.
The time difference from Moscow is several hours ahead, and it is easier to take than flights across the Atlantic: the body shifts over a day or two. Even so, it is worth naming passengers’ ages in advance: for a flight with small children we look separately at the cabin layout and at where to put sleeping berths.
The destination has a pronounced season: the main wave falls in the dry months, and in those weeks demand for long-range aircraft is noticeably higher. An early enquiry here means not a discount but a choice.

Which aircraft suit this route
On a leg of this length we offer only the heavy and long-range classes:
- Gulfstream G550 — long-range with a generous range margin, the standard choice for a night flight
- Dassault Falcon 7X — long-range class, a quiet cabin and a smooth ride at high levels
- Gulfstream G450 — a heavy jet with a roomy cabin and hold
- Embraer Legacy 600 — heavy, comfortable for a large family on a long journey
We do not promise a non-stop flight by default on any aircraft: it depends on the payload, on the winds along the route and on the routing chosen. On smaller aircraft the flight is planned with a technical stop for fuel — a perfectly workable option, but it adds time on the ground. What it comes to on your dates we will state plainly in the quote.
Other types are in the aircraft catalogue.
What drives the price
At this distance the quote is set almost entirely by flight time and aircraft class. Everything on the ground accounts for a smaller share than on short flights, and moving the departure by a day matters less than changing the type of aircraft.
The second item is the routing: the non-stop option costs more in aircraft but is shorter door to door; a route with a refuelling stop can be the more sensible choice when the schedule is not rigid. We show both with an honest difference in hours.
The third is what the aircraft does while you are resting. On a two- or three-week trip, keeping it on the island is almost never worth it: it is more logical to release it and order the return as a separate flight. On a short visit of a few days the opposite is sometimes true — we cost both scenarios and show the difference in figures, not in words.
The fourth is the season. In peak weeks demand for long-range aircraft is high, and an enquiry submitted early gives you a choice of several aircraft instead of the one that is left. We publish no starting figure — it depends on the aircraft and the date. Send your dates and the quote will come back within the hour.
The return leg
The way home is on the Phuket — Moscow page. It is a separate flight: a different convenient departure hour and a different job — to get you back to Moscow without losing the following day. If both dates are known, send them together.
How to book
Send the route, the date and the number of passengers — a quote with aircraft will come back within the hour. We answer around the clock, weekends included.
Note two things separately: whether a flight without an intermediate stop matters to you, and how much large baggage is travelling. On a flight of this length those two lines remove most of the follow-up questions. The set of documents depends on the passengers’ citizenship and is confirmed when we quote.
