The Dassault Falcon 900EX doesn't have enough range to get from Moscow to Bolivia. It might've had enough fuel to get across the Atlantic, but only if they were planning on refueling in the US or Canada after making a large deviation from the direct route. I think it's most likely they were planning on making a fuel stop somewhere in the old world and were carrying an amount of fuel commensurate with that. edit: Yep, according to Portugal they initially requested a fuel stop in Lisbon before they were grounded. When they ultimately left Vienna they refueled at the Canary Islands. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jul/03/edward-snowden-asylum-live#block-51d43c1ce4b03a793030bb0e https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jul/03/edward-snowden...
