How Russian Oil Giant Rosneft Uses Its Corporate Jets for Business and Pleasure
Jets used for corporate travel by Russian state-owned oil major Rosneft flew at least 13 times
to Mallorca,
Ibiza,
Sardinia
the Maldives
when CEO Igor Sechin or people from his social circle were in the same vacation spots.
Using publicly available data, Reuters tracked 290 Rosneft flights between January 2015 and May 2019.
Of those round trips, 96 took place during Russian public holidays or between Friday lunchtime in Moscow and Monday morning.
Since the start of 2015, Rosneft corporate jets traveled
eight times to Sardinia’s Olbia airport,
15 times to the Maldives
seven times to Spain’s Palma de Mallorca,
according to the flight tracking data from planefinder.net, flightaware.com,

In a reply sent in April to previous Reuters questions about the use of corporate aircraft by the friends or family members of Rosneft employees,
the company said: “No private transport of family members was carried out at the expense of the company.”
