VistaJet, the Swiss-headquartered charter company with operations in Austria, Germany and Asia, has ordered three ACJs. "Delivery of the order will expand our fleet to a total of 31 aircraft," says chairman Thomas Flohr. "The ACJs will become VistaJet's flagship aircraft and will all have the same highest standards of configuration and services when offered for charter."

President and ceo Bing Chen says: "We see increasing demand for top-of-the-line corporate jets such as the ACJ as our 'blue-chip' clients realise just how much more comfort and space they can get for their money."

Chen says VistaJet differentiates its service by providing a fleet that is only two years old on average. "The ACJs will help us to expand in Russia and Asia with aircraft that will satisfy the most demanding customers."

VistaJet says it has not yet selected the engines that will power its ACJs nor the cabin completion centre that will outfit them. Chen says ACJ benefits include advanced fuel-saving aerodynamics, weight-saving composites and proven reliability.
