VistaJet places $277m new plane order at airshow
Private jet programme operator VistaJet has placed a $277 million order for six Bombardier aircraft at this year's Farnborough airshow, near London.
The order consists of four ultra long-range Global Express XRS and two large cabin Challenger 605 aircraft, and places a greater emphasis on large, longer-range aircraft, will significantly increase VistaJet’s long-haul capability at a time when the company says it is successfully winning new customers in markets such as the Middle East, West Africa and Russia / CIS who typically fly for six to eight hours at a time.
VistaJet says the order will also facilitate the company's strict policy of maintaining a young fleet age profile, with an average age of less than two years and with no one individual aircraft being more than three years old. Once all aircraft are delivered, the new order will see an increase in the fleet size to in excess of 30 aircraft.
Thomas Flohr, founder and chairman of VistaJet (pictured), said: “Having demonstrated its resilience during the recent global economic downturn by increasing revenues, VistaJet is now enjoying increasing demand across all its service areas and these larger, long-range new aircraft will play a key role in our ongoing success. For our customers, the Bombardier fleet provides the ‘aircraft of choice’ whether flying medium or long haul and in a level of comfort that they demand from us.”
