A range of over 14,000 km, a cruising speed of 980 km\/h. But above all, an elegant exterior and exceptional interior luxury. The aircraft in question is the Bombardier Global 7 500<\/strong>considered to be the largest business jet in its category and, above all, offering the greatest range. And it's this aircraft that has joined the business aviation company VistaJet<\/a><\/strong>. \"\u00a0It's the flagship aircraft in our fleet, and we're particularly proud of it. Because it's an aircraft offering exceptional performance and a product that's looking for its equivalent on other aircraft.<\/em>describes Simon Rochefort, Vice President of VistaJet France<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Bombardier Global 7 500, an exceptional aircraft<\/span><\/h3>\n

The company, the world's leading international operator with more than 70 private jets, has already received 4 Global 7,500<\/strong>. \"Our first aircraft joined our fleet 18 months ago. We expect to receive a further 8 aircraft in what will be one of the largest Bombardier Global 7 500 fleets in operation.<\/strong>\" says Simon Rochefort.<\/p>\n

The best thing about this elegant aircraft is its exceptional comfort. The aircraft is totally silent and uses very little fuel<\/strong>. It can even fly on the new biofuels.<\/p>\n

The service on board is the best you can get on a business jet. One of the VistaJet-branded aircraft has one bedroom with a real fixed double bed and en-suite bathroom<\/strong>. A lounge equipped with a high-definition widescreen television is ideal for meetings in the sky. The rest of the cabin is made up of fully reclinable armchairs and an area where a table can be used for each armchair individually. Or become a six-seater table for a meal or a meeting.<\/p>\n

\"This level of comfort can be used by all types of passenger, from company directors to VIPs or even families on a trip,\" explains Simon Rochefort. Such a jet (which costs around 72 million dollars) is certainly more expensive to rent than other VistaJet aircraft. But the extra cost, estimated at 30% or 40% by Simon Rochefort, is well worth it. Especially since the range of the Global 7 500 makes it possible to fly non-stop to destinations that would be impossible to serve with a conventional jet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\u00a0This aircraft should be an excellent asset for VistaJet as demand rises following the lifting of travel restrictions - particularly to the United States.<\/em>\" says VistaJet's Vice President.<\/p>\n

Still a golden age for business aviation in 2022<\/span><\/h3>\n

Simon Rochefort describes the incredible health of on-demand air transport as a \"golden age\".<\/strong>. \"\u00a0At the same time, we are witnessing a catching-up process since the deconfinements around the world, resulting in an irresistible need for many people to fly. Particularly for business. And post-covision, many more companies have decided to take the plunge and use a business airline. This is because they are able to offer logistical capacity to meet the needs of businesses.<\/em>he says.<\/p>\n

This last argument alone explains the notion of a \"golden age\". VistaJet and other business aviation providers are offering companies an alternative to scheduled air transport, which is bogged down by regulations.<\/strong> and constraints<\/strong>. Tails in airport security filters resulting in flight delays, lack of air frequencies due to Covid. All of which is giving VistaJet wings.<\/p>\n

The company expects probably a very good 2022<\/strong>. \"\u00a0Of course, China, Japan and Russia will still be missing, as these countries have locked in their travel rules in the face of the Covid crisis.<\/em>Simon Rochefort.<\/p>\n

\"\u00a0On the other hand, the United States and other intercontinental markets are once again present. Demand on the North Atlantic is already higher than in 2019<\/strong> for business flights. New York, Los Angeles, Miami and San Francisco are the most popular destinations. But there are also Dallas and Austin in Texas, where many companies have recently set up business because of the favourable tax conditions.<\/em>\" . An optimism that does us good...<\/p>\n
