A Novaya Gazeta article reported that Airfix, a Finnish aviation company that operates luxury business jets owned by Russian state-run companies or their offshore subsidiaries, is co-managed by Gennady Timchenko, co-owner of Gunvor group, which controls a third of Russian oil exports. According to plane-spotting data, one of the jets (Bombardier Global Express XRS) is regularly used by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin. Airfix representatives and government spokesmen refused to discuss the issue with the Novaya Gazeta journalists. Days after publication, Novaya Gazeta's web site was crashed by a massive DDoS attack and is not currently available, but a copy of the article may be found on other sites.
