VistaJet had its strongest ever year in 2017, with flight hours “up markedly” year-on-year, the company recently announced. In fact, VistaJet increased market share across the globe and saw double and even triple-digit growth in flight hours, with the U.S. up 38 percent; UAE, 44 percent; Oman, 300 percent; and Asia, 16 percent.

This year, VistaJet founder and chairman Thomas Flohr said, the company remains focused on building more market share in the largest markets in the world, namely North America and Asia, as well as the rapidly expanding markets in the Middle East. “With the growth of the tech sector on the U.S. West Coast and a growing body of entrepreneurs in key global financial hubs such as Dubai, the audience for private aviation will get even younger in 2018,” he predicted.
