VistaJet sister XO has increased the number of third-party operator private jets that can be booked instantly online in 2024.
Vista Global’s XO has increased the number of private jets available for instant booking by over 55% year-to-date.
“Our mission at XO has always been to deliver an unparalleled private aviation experience, and our newly enhanced 10-second booking system does just that,” said Youssef Mouallem, Executive Vice President of International Sales at Vista.
He added, “By expanding the alliance fleet and leveraging our pioneering technology, we are simplifying the booking process, adding more flexibility, preferred pricing, and speed than ever before. Whether flying for leisure or business, the XO network is the fastest and most convenient way to fly privately to any destination in the world.”
According to the company, instant booking options now cover all categories of jets, from light jets to ultra-long-haul private jets.
Instant booking is now available for flights in Europe as well.
Instant booking speeds up the online booking process.
Virtually all online booking interfaces marketed by private jet flight providers are quote requests.
Most of the instant pricing is a quote that must be confirmed afterward.
In the case of XO, you can confirm, book, and pay in a single visit to the website or app.
“XO has secured its place in aviation history as the first to allow clients to book a private flight in as little as 10 seconds. This revolutionary solution provides transparent pricing for a vast fleet of business aircraft, transforming what was once a complex and time-consuming process,” the company said in an update.
VistaJet’s sister company says the conversion rate is “three times” higher than other booking channels.
“Booking a private aircraft traditionally required multi-day coordination across various locations, arranging bespoke aircraft, crew, catering, and ground transportation. Flyers were faced with endless back-and-forth communication and quotes that lacked price guarantees,” according to XO.
Over 2.3 million users have downloaded its app.
Users can instantly book Vista Members’ fleet and third-party operators.
That network includes 2,100 aircraft worldwide.
Last month, Vista Global confirmed it was selling its light jet and Citation X fleet.
Those legacy aircraft were operating in the U.S.
However, it has not provided any updates on the transaction.
