In January 2023, its fleet consisted of over 360 privately owned, mid- to large-cabin, ultra-long-range Bombardier Global and Challenger business jets. In 2018, it flew to 187 countries, 1,900 airports and carried more than 367,000 passengers. Its headquarters are in Malta, with further offices in London, New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Dubai.
VistaJet has a European Aircraft Operating Certificate (AOC) 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, e.g., the US, where VistaJet-owned and U.S.-registered aircraft are operated by licensed U.S. direct air carriers.
