About VistaJet
Global private aviation company operating the world's largest privately owned fleet of long-range business jets. Subscription-based model with guaranteed availability worldwide.
Overview
The VistaJet Program is a fixed-rate jet card with a 25-hour minimum purchase. Members pay one all-inclusive hourly rate — fuel, FET, and repositioning are covered, with no surcharges billed after the flight. Rates start at $11,200/hr on the Challenger 350 (super-midsize), $15,800/hr on the Challenger 604 and Global 5000 (heavy), and $19,500/hr on the Global 6000 and Global 7500 (ultra-long range). A 3-hour daily minimum applies. VistaJet structures contracts around annual commitment volume; long-flight discounts are negotiable at higher hour levels.
Every VistaJet flight operates on a company-owned Bombardier aircraft with VistaJet crew — there are no third-party charter operators in the network. The fleet averages under five years old. Flight attendants are included on heavy and ultra-long range flights. Callout is 24 hours standard, and there are no ferry or repositioning fees.
The program covers 187 countries with guaranteed availability, which sets it apart from most jet cards limited to US or North American markets. The VJ25 entry tier caps peak-day usage at 30 days per year as of 2025, reduced from 40. Accounts include a dedicated account manager, 24/7 support, and digital booking via app.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the VistaJet Program cost?
VistaJet charges fixed all-inclusive hourly rates with a 25-hour minimum purchase. Current rates: Challenger 350 (super-midsize) $11,200/hr; Challenger 604 / Global 5000 (heavy) $15,800/hr; Global 6000 / Global 7500 (ultra-long range) $19,500/hr. A 3-hour daily minimum applies on every flight day. Fuel, FET, and repositioning are included — no separate line items.
What aircraft does VistaJet fly?
VistaJet operates an exclusively Bombardier fleet: Challenger 350 (super-midsize), Challenger 604 and Global 5000 (heavy), and Global 6000 and Global 7500 (ultra-long range). Every aircraft is company-owned — no third-party operators, no brokered charters. The fleet averages under five years old.
Is the VistaJet Program refundable?
No. Purchased hours are non-refundable.
How much notice does VistaJet require to book a flight?
Standard callout is 24 hours. Guaranteed availability applies globally across 187 countries within that window.
Does VistaJet include fuel surcharges?
Yes — fuel surcharges and federal excise tax (FET) are both built into the hourly rate. There are no separate fuel bills after landing and no repositioning or ferry fees charged to the member.
What is the difference between VistaJet and NetJets?
NetJets sells fractional ownership — buyers purchase an equity share in a specific aircraft. VistaJet sells flight hours under a subscription model with no asset ownership. VistaJet operates in 187 countries under a single global agreement with a 24-hour callout globally. NetJets is primarily structured around North American and European operations. Both programs use 100% owned fleets and offer guaranteed availability. Fractional buyers hold an asset; VistaJet members buy access.
Does VistaJet guarantee availability?
Yes. Guaranteed availability is a stated program term and applies globally in 187 countries. The standard callout window is 24 hours.
What safety certifications does VistaJet hold?
VistaJet holds IS-BAO Stage 3, ARGUS Platinum, and Wyvern Wingman certifications — the three primary independent safety audits in business aviation. All flights use two-pilot VistaJet-employed crews.
