Vasiliev owns a rare Antonov An-74-200 which he uses as a private jet. The jet has registration RA-74015. The jet is richly decorated and bears a logo referring to St. Petersburg.
Vasiliev also owns an Agusta Westland AW139 helicopter with registration RA-01998. The helicopter has the same CPB logo as the Antonov jet. The helicopter is able to land on the (specially prepared) foredeck of the yacht Shtandart.
The AgustaWestland AW139 is a popular medium-sized twin-engine helicopter designed and manufactured by the Italian-British company AgustaWestland (now Leonardo S.p.A.). The AW139 was first introduced in 2003 and has since become a widely used helicopter for a variety of applications, including search and rescue, offshore transport, and VIP/corporate transportation.
The AW139 has a maximum speed of 310 km/h (193 mph) and a maximum range of 1,250 km (777 mi), making it a highly versatile and capable helicopter. It can seat up to 15 passengers, and its spacious cabin can be easily configured for a wide range of missions and applications.
The AW139 features advanced avionics and flight control systems, including a digital glass cockpit, autopilot, and a four-axis digital automatic flight control system. It also has advanced safety features, such as a crash-resistant fuel system and redundant flight controls.
The AW139 has been widely adopted by a number of organizations and agencies around the world, including the military, law enforcement, and emergency services. It has also been used by several high-profile VIPs and corporate clients for private transportation.
