VistaJet is a global business aviation company founded in 2004 by Thomas Flohr. The firm flies between any two points, under a "pay for hours flown" fare structure.[2]
In January 2023, its fleet consisted of over 360[3] privately owned, mid-to-large cabin, ultra-long-range Bombardier Global and Challenger business jets.[4] In 2018, it flew to 187 countries, 1,900 airports and carried more than 367,000 passengers.[5] Its headquarters are in Malta, with further offices in London, New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Dubai.[6]
VistaJet has a European Aircraft Operating Certificate (AOC) in Malta. It partners with local operators in countries where airlines are obliged to fly domestically and cannot be the majority owner of an AOC, such as the US, where VistaJet-owned and U.S.-registered aircraft are operated by licensed U.S. direct air carriers.[7]

When you see the $55m asset of a major company sitting in a remote airport in Norilsk, Russia, or Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand, it's not because somebody is on holiday, it's because a captain of industry, chairman or chief executive is considering a major investment.
