This 'kit' plane was something of a pet project.
Just like S7 as a company is almost an all-family venture, this a/c was sort of labour of love. The pilot was an experienced instructor for their company.
They do have a Gulfstream and dedicated pilots for it. They could easily afford a В737 BBJ if they wanted to.
