VistaJet's in-service fleet has expanded to 50 business jets, all manufactured by Bombardier. The milestone was achieved following the recent delivery of a Global 6000. “Our growing business jet fleet demonstrates our increasing global expansion,” comments founder and chairman Thomas Flohr. “The Global 6000 aircraft continues to be a popular addition to our fleet, providing the comfort, technology and range that our customers rely on when flying with VistaJet. As our worldwide growth continues, we look forward to adding more Bombardier business aircraft to our fleet.”

The company operates the largest privately-owned fleet of Bombardier business aircraft worldwide, with 21 Global and 28 Challenger jets, including the Challenger 350, 605, 850, and Global 5000 and 6000 aircraft. With an average fleet age of under two years, VistaJet's aircraft have to date visited more than 180 countries, landed at 1,320 airports worldwide, logged over 70,000 flights and carried over 165,000 passengers.
