VistaJet notes global private jet travel despite the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic

Despite the drop in private jet travel, VistaJet says it is providing flights to those who need its services

Last month VistaJet, a unit of Vista Global Holdings, announced it would offer short-term month-to-month leases as a response to COVID-Coronavirus pandemic.

At the same time, it said it would support first responders with free seats on repositioning flights, typically referred to as empty legs.

A month later, VistaJet reports it has been busy helping travelers from around the world get where they need to in light of the vastly reduced airline schedules.
