A $55 million aircraft capable of flying for 13 hours with up to 14 passengers with top-of-the-range comfort and service. With an increase of 16% in passenger numbers and 21% in flights to and from France (led by Paris, Nice and Cannes) in the first half of 2018, VistaJet's management came to Paris a few days ago with this beautiful 'toy' to present its commercial offer. Enough to make you want to fly to the other side of the globe!
24-hour equipment availability guarantee
Created in 2004This private airline operates 72 jetsThese include the Global 6000 and 5000 (13 passengers) as well as the Challenger (9 to 14 seats), which are available for hire to companies and private customers. " This fleet is ideal for covering the globe and offering the availability of an aircraft with a reservation up to 24 hours before the flight and positioning free of charge." explains Philippe ScalabriniPresident of European Sales, which is VistaJet's largest market, accounting for 41% of flight hours in 2017. He added: " 70% of our customers are companies for whom we represent a tool for performance and mobility. maximise their time to develop their business" . Passengers can therefore work and prepare for a meeting during the journey, or simply relax by dining, watching a film or sleeping, as the different aircraft have between 3 and 7 beds. All the aircraft in the fleet have identical cabin layouts and standards of comfort. The jets are recognisable on the tarmac by their grey livery with a fine silver and red stripe.
Two rental solutions on offer
Rather than owning or sharing an aircraft, VistaJet is taking advantage of this European tour to promote its two rental formulas, one in the form of a flight hours package to be consumed, the other based on the dry booking via the VistaJet Direct application. The cost of this last solution obviously depends on the type of aircraft chosen, the advance notice, the number of passengers on board, the duration of the flight and the services required...". The average use of a private jet is 200 hours per year, whereas ours fly almost a thousand hours. Our customers only pay for the time actually flown." justifies Simon Rochefortvice-president of VistaJet. Some 132,000 flights are expected to be operated this year representing 330,000 passengers transported between more than 190 countries. However, a dozen or so airports are concentrating demand for flights: London, Nice and Paris, GenevaHong Kong, Shanghai, Delhi, Mumbai and Los Angeles, New York, Miami and Dubai. " These "hubs" can therefore be staffed by several jets to respond more quickly to our customers' requests." adds Simon Rochefort.
