The private aircraft manufacturer Vista Global reports an "incredibly strong year."

Vista Global, the parent company of charter operators VistaJet and XOJET, announces a "record" year in 2021, as clients shifted to private jets in response to concerns over the coronavirus.

The Dubai-based company stated on January 25 that subscription solutions and services sales increased by 59% in 2021, while flight hours rose by 64%. Vista's flight time in 2021 was 57% higher than pre-pandemic levels.

"2021 was incredibly successful for Vista, and we achieved record figures due to the huge demand for our subscription, membership, and on-demand offerings," said VistaJet founder and chairman Thomas Flohr.

"We are seeing significant growth in contract sizes for both VistaJet and XO, and we are working around the clock to ensure we have the necessary infrastructure and capabilities to provide complete flexibility and diversification of our services in the most sustainable way," he added.

The company claims to have added over 30 aircraft in 2021 and currently operates more than 200 aircraft.

VistaJet became the first customer of the Bombardier Global 7500 large aircraft. The company states it plans to add more of this type of aircraft to its fleet in 2022. The upgrade of the Global and Challenger fleets is expected to be completed by the end of 2022, the company adds.

Vista "remains confident" that it will be the first in the industry to achieve carbon neutrality by 2025, significantly faster than most aviation companies plan. Since 2020, the group has offered clients the option to travel on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) instead of conventional Jet-A, with blends ranging from 10% to 100%.
