Dexter to Launch Air Taxi Service in Siberia

Russian air taxi service Dexter plans to launch air taxi services in the Siberian Federal District, Yevgeny Andrachnikov, director of the air taxi project, announced in May. Dexter plans to make customized flights between cities located up to 2,000 kilometers from each other on eight-seat Pilatus PC-12 planes, Andrachnikov said. Dexter was founded in 2004. It was established by Russia’s Industrial Investors Group and aviation holding Kaskol. Dexter currently operates in the Central, Volga and Northwest federal districts and recently started making flights in the Urals Federal District. The company plans to set up a national network with a fleet of 70-80 planes in all of Russia’s big cities and transport centers by 2013.
