VistaJet flies high in Middle East

VistaJet is deploying a full roll-out of its revolutionary Flight Solutions, including Jet Membership, Partnership, and Ownership programs. It is also appointing local sales representatives who will be based in Dubai.

The move signals VistaJet's commitment to the Middle East and enables the company to expand its revolutionary Flight Solutions further into the growing Middle Eastern market and underlines the escalating worldwide demand of business aviation solutions. VistaJet currently has a thriving jet charter business in the Middle East on an impressive all-Bombardier state of the art business jet aircraft fleet.

With its recent landmark $1.2bn order for up to 60 new Bombardier jets, the Vistajet fleet will soon number 90 medium to ultra-long range aircraft. In June, the acquisition of Skyjet International - Bombardier's charter services division - established VistaJet as one of the world's largest private jet companies.

Thomas Flohr, VistaJet's Chairman, said:

"We are launching a major initiative that will encourage, stimulate and support the private jet business in the Middle East. Our key aim is to couple pure luxury with affordability by offering superior alternative solutions to the traditional jet charter and fractional / whole ownership offerings."

Says Flohr, "Our Flight Solutions open up a new chapter in business aviation, revolutionizing the way people use business jets. Under VistaJet's whole aircraft ownership program, for example, our customers may purchase a new Challenger 605 jet and begin flying immediately. They pay one simple quarterly payment based on their hourly commitment, which, in many cases, is lower than the traditional direct operating costs of the aircraft. There are no fixed fees, no maintenance expenses, and no monthly management fees. This is an exceptional package for an aircraft of this capability and range."

VistaJet's Partnership program is a flexible solution without the capital costs of ownership, while delivering all the benefits of flying VistaJet. Again, this program which is highly suited to 100 to 400 hours travelers, comes with guaranteed availability with no fixed costs, maintenance expenses or monthly management fees.

The Membership program is a transparent and flexible block-hour membership concept offering discounted rates on cards of 25 hours or more with guaranteed aircraft availability, fixed pricing per route, zero fuel surcharge, no peak day restrictions, and a 20% discount on same-day return flights.
