Russia’s Sanrêt Expands Fleet with Challenger 850 Import

Sanrêt (DXT, Zhukovsky) has imported a Bombardier Challenger 850, marking its third aircraft of the type, according to ch-aviation research.

The newly acquired RA-67677 (msn 8106) first operated under Sanrêt’s ‘DXT’ code on December 24, 2024, flying between Tashkent International and Moscow Vnukovo. Configured for 14 passengers, the 13.7-year-old jet was originally registered in Canada, later moving to China under ZYB Lily Jet from 2012 to 2024.

After leaving Shenyang Taoxian International for Guangzhou on January 18, 2024, the aircraft proceeded to Singapore Seletar. It was then reregistered in San Marino as T7-LISA and briefly operated by Türkiye’s Be Aero, making stops in Colombo, Abu Dhabi, and Istanbul Atatürk before a six-month storage period. The jet later resurfaced under Regal Jetsetter Tourism and Travel, a company whose identity remains unverified.

Sanrêt now operates three Challenger 850s, alongside five Legacy 600s, two Legacy 650s, and a Pilatus PC-24. While six Embraer Executive Jets and two Challenger 850s are part of its Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC), the newly acquired aircraft’s commercial status remains unclear.

This marks Sanrêt’s third major fleet expansion, following two Legacy 650 imports in 2024 from Euro-Asia Air (Kazakhstan) and Cape Jets (South Africa). Meanwhile, in January 2025, the company retired another Challenger 850, which later joined Russia’s Jetica fleet.
