VistaJet Records 137 Pct Growth In Flight Bookings In 2016

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 26 (Bernama) -- Global aviation company VistaJet has recorded a 137 per cent year-on-year growth in flight bookings in 2016, driven by higher travellers arriving and departing from the United States. In a statement, VistaJet, the pioneer of asset-free hourly subscription model for private jets, said international and American passengers arriving and departing from the US grew 122 per cent year-on-year. It said customers were able to arrange their flights with full catering in as little as 90 minutes from booking and also order catering from a restaurant of their choice. VistaJet's fleet of 71 Bombardier Challenger and Global aircraft are positioned all over the world to take customers anywhere. Chairman and Founder Thomas Flohr said North America had the most mature business aviation market in the world and VistaJet's advanced growth in a short time frame indicated that the market was ready for change.
