VistaJet

VistaJet is a global business aviation company founded in 2004 by billionaire Thomas Flohr. The company operates flights between global destinations under a "pay for hours flown" fare structure. In January 2023, its fleet consisted of over 360 planes including mid-to-large cabin, Bombardier Global and Challenger business jets. The company has flown to 207 countries and 1,900 airports. Its headquarters are in Malta, with further offices in London, New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Dubai. VistaJet has a European air operator's certificate 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.
