VistaJet has abolished hourly ferry flight fees for new Program customers. The commitment applies no matter where in the world a customer is flying to or from, and has been made possible by the operator's large fleet, global client base and floating bases.

Positioning fees have often been a frustrating and unexpected cost for business aviation clients. Depending on location, they can add tens of thousands of dollars to the overall cost of a flight.

Founder and chairman Thomas Flohr states: “When you call a taxi, you don't worry about paying for its journey to you. Today's entrepreneur or business executive will be flying to America one week, Asia or South America the next, and Europe in between, so it's become critical to offer them a truly global service. The sustained investment we've made for the past 13 years has been calculated to ensure we can offer our customers something completely ground-breaking: one way pricing around the globe.”

VistaJet has invested more than US$2.5bn in its global fleet and background operations technology in recent months. It took on 15 additional business jets in 2016, and its fleet now numbers more than 70 aircraft. In March the fleet surpassed 100,000 flight hours.
