VistaJet History and Overview
VistaJet was founded in 2004 by Swiss entrepreneur Thomas Flohr. It operates a fleet of over 70 owned Bombardier aircraft, all with consistent branding, livery, and amenities for its on-demand charter and prepaid member program customers.
The company is based in Malta with global offices in London, New York and Hong Kong. In 2018, Flohr formed a holding company, Dubai-based Vista Global Holding. VGH has since acquired XOJET, JetSmarter (with the brokerages combined into XO), Red Wing Aero, Apollo Jets and Talon Air.
VistaJet’s U.S. fleet is operated by XOJET Aviation (Review private jet membership company M&A activity with our PRIVATE AVIATION DEAL BOOK.) and recently announced plans to add 50 light jets for its XO brand.
In 2020, VistaJet launched its first dedicated program targeting corporate accounts. It also expanded its Private World collaborations with luxury travel advisors.
In 2021, VistaJet announced said it will be carbon neutral by 2025. It also said it will add up to 12 Bombardier Global 7500s and 10 Challenger 350s to its fleet by 2022.
