My company ferried a Turbo Commander 690 from Canada to Australia via Russia and Japan last year. The total cost was over $ 60,000 USD and the general consensus was "never again". There is very little aviation infrastructure to support light aircraft operations, a labyrinthine and opaque set of official rules and procedures and high costs.

Virtually everyone who wants to cross the Pacific fits ferry tanks and goes Oakland Hawaii direct.
