Vista, celebrating 20 years as the world's leading private aviation group, has embared on a first-ever U.S. tour showcasing the performance of its newly dedicated American fleet of Bombardier Global 7500 aircraft. The tour spans key destinations, including New York, Palm Beach, Dallas and Los Angeles, and underscores Vista's commitment to fulfilling business aviation demands from the U.S. to anywhere in the world.
With over a decade of significant growth in the U.S., and over one million flight hours logged since, Vista is positioned as the number one global operator by diversity of global flight activity, according to WingX. The company recently introduced this state-of-the-art aircraft to the U.S. under the Vista America brand, as the first and largest operator of Global 7500s, to cater to the needs of business travellers across the region, offering a consistent flying solution for both domestic and long-range travel.
Leona Qi, president U.S. of Vista, said: “The U.S. is a mature business aviation market yet there's a gap for clients who need a consistent solution for both domestic and international travel. We see strong demand for the long-haul, non-stop capabilities of the Global 7500. And while we already service international trips, like California to Asia, the Vista America operated U.S. fleet allows expansion and service of all requests for this aircraft, such as Texas to Alaska, Chicago to Hawaii, and Seattle to Anguilla. Vista is uniquely positioned to fulfill this demand, as we're the only company to offer connectivity at this scale.”
Vista's Global 7500 boasts an industry-leading 17-hour flying range, connecting clients across vast distances. The aircraft features a spacious cabin with four distinct living areas, ideal for business meetings, relaxation or family travel. Vista clients also have access to the Vista members' fleet of over 300 aircraft, ensuring the perfect fit for every mission. Vista prioritises consistent service, and the entire fleet is modelled after the design language of the iconic Global 7500, offering familiarity in configuration, amenities and connectivity.
This commitment to excellence extends beyond the aircraft. Vista has continuously invested in infrastructure, technology and its people for two decades, resulting in a superior client experience that sets a new industry standard. This dedication is reflected in initiatives like its Wellness programme, an industry-first that is exclusive to those flying onboard its Global 7500, which offers ergonomic seating and jetlag-reducing technologies. Vista consistently pushes boundaries through partnerships that curate memorable experiences and by refining onboard services for its clients, as well as unlimited fast Wi-Fi and unmatched private dining standards.
VistaJet members have guaranteed availability on the Global 7500, a remarkable benefit, which perfectly complements flying on an aircraft with a rate card price of over USD70 million without having to invest in the asset first. Flights can also be booked via XO, pending availability.
As Vista celebrates 20 years of industry leadership, this U.S. tour underscores the company's unwavering commitment to providing the best possible solutions for business aviation clients. With a passionate global team of over 4,400 professionals, Vista is dedicated to shaping the future of business aviation for the next two decades and beyond.
