Vista Global

The World's Leading Private Aviation Group

Dubai-headquartered private aviation platform operating VistaJet and XO brands with 270+ aircraft. $1.4B revenue in 2025, valued at $2.5B. Subscription-based and on-demand flying across 150+ countries.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK

Vista Global represents the most ambitious consolidation play in private aviation history. Founded by Thomas Flohr — who still owns 84% — Vista combined VistaJet's subscription model and XO's on-demand marketplace under one DIFC-headquartered holding. In 2025, Vista closed $1.3B in combined equity and debt, with offerings regularly oversubscribed.

The numbers are striking: $1.4B revenue in 2025, 12% membership growth, 16% increase in live hours, and Japan emerging as the fastest-growing market with 67% growth. Vista ordered 40 Bombardier Challenger 3500 aircraft in February 2026 and is rolling out satellite connectivity fleet-wide by mid-2026.
