A direct flight from Frankfurt to Moscow: that doesn't really exist in times of war.
A private flight therefore raises questions.
Moscow – There is war in Europe: About a year ago Russia invaded Ukraine.
That is why there is also a flight ban to Russia.
It is therefore surprising that a private plane recently flew to Moscow: A flight of a Bombardier Challenger 604 from Frankfurt to the Russian capital raises questions: about the background of the flight and about the possible passenger list.
The flight took off on Saturday afternoon (March 4, 2023) in the direction of Moscow's Vnukovo Airport and landed there at 5:27 p.m. local time.
Just one hour later, the machine with the registration D-AFAA flew back to Germany and landed in Nuremberg at 7:14 p.m.
Russian telegram channels connect this with Rozdulgin's health emergency.
Rozdulgin is allegedly one of Putin's largest asset proxies.

The FAI Aviation Group aircraft is said to be a machine used for emergency patients, like the one that Alexei Navalny flew to Germany on August 22, 2020.
The Kremlin critic was taken to Berlin for treatment after being poisoned with the neurotoxin Novichok.
The machines have special medical equipment on board.
Observers on Twitter suspect that a medical emergency could again have been the reason for the current flight - and that all countries concerned had therefore given permission to fly over.
Direct flight to Russia: Is the passenger the oligarch Sergei Roldugin?
The investigative journalist Christo Grozev from the research team "Bellingcat" also follows this theory and refers to Russian Telegram channels in a Twitter post.
The alleged patient could be the millionaire oligarch Sergei Roldugin.
Roldugin is a childhood friend of Vladimir Putin - nicknamed "Putin's Cellist".
But there is no confirmation for the theory.
Roldugin arguably plays an important role in Putin's wealth management.
The so-called Panama Papers had already noticed that Roldugin owns many shell companies.
Another theory on Twitter is that it is another Putin friend: Nikolai Rastorguyev.
The musician had publicly sided with the Russian aggressors and was sanctioned by the European Union.
