VistaJet, offers what has been described as a “ revolutionary business aviation solution”through its one-of-a-kind Flight Solutions Programme and exclusively purchases and operates Bombardier business aircraft. Just one month ago, Bombardier confirmed that VistaJet ordered two Challenger 605 and six Global 6000 jets in late January 2011. This latest Global aircraft order raises VistaJet’s order backlog value to approximately $2 billion

“This aircraft order confirms our development strategy is on track as we rapidly establish ourselves in the world’s fastest growing markets,” said Thomas Flohr, founder and chairman of VistaJet. “VistaJet has successfully expanded far beyond Europe’s borders, and we now have major customers in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) who require longer-haul aircraft with state-of-the-art cabins. The Global 8000 business jets are ideal to meet the needs of our passengers in these regions,’ Flohr said.
