You obviously know about planes more than me.
Still I agree with @RonJonGuaido that Prigozhin had no logic reason to be on a flight in Russian territory (other than being someway forced to do that)

What’s odd is that it looks like the plane was leaving Moscow, not arriving.

He may simply have felt safe, for reasons we don’t understand.

Yet the plane was on its way to st. Petersburg according to the article... That's a hell of a detour for a man that was supposed to be in Africa
