Discover More of the World With VistaJet’s Once-in-a Lifetime Global Travel Exclusives

VistaJet World presents private journeys and personal experiences, designed around Members’ interests

NEW YORK, Oct. 03, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VistaJet, the first and only global private aviation company, announced today the launch of VistaJet World, presenting a comprehensive portfolio of one-of-a-kind, multi-stop travel adventures tailored around its Members’ passions. To celebrate the company’s 15^th anniversary, the program highlights 15 exclusive journeys to experience the most remote and thrilling adventures around the world.

As the global UHNW population is forecast to rise by around 41% from 2017 levels by 2022¹, demand for service, personalized attention and exclusivity of experience will continue to increase. VistaJet researchers identified that changing consumer preferences and priorities are redefining the concept of global travel, now considered the second most favored focus for discretionary spending². A high appreciation of different cultures and a prioritization of experiences over ownership of goods have resulted in UHNW travelers seeking deeper travel experiences, as 20% of private jet travelers take at least one experiential trip every year³.

Travels are often initiated as a means to discover new horizons or gain a heightened insight into personal interests. For VistaJet Members, the most recurring reasons for leisure travel by private jet are:

Philanthropy – holidays with influence featuring prominently
Adventure – surrounded by incredible scenery
Art and music – with a specific interest in opera
Nature and animals – with an emphasis on protection
Dining discoveries – comparing tastes from all over the world

To better serve its customers and provide the inspiring travel adventures they desire, VistaJet established a Private Office in 2016 as a dedicated team providing Members with bespoke services and access to the world’s most incredible experiences. Today, partnering with a network of world-leading travel experts including Blue Marble Private, Based on a True Story, Indagare, Nota Bene Global and Pelorus, the VistaJet Private Office can serve this increasing demand for the perfect personalized journey through VistaJet World – the new service offering life-enriching journeys for all types of travelers.

Serving as inspiration, the portfolio of 15 exceptional VistaJet World journeys include:

Leading the curve in travel innovation, wealthy travelers have the means to seek more of the world, yet much of it is still undiscovered and only easily accessible by private jet. Due to their size and flexible landing capabilities, private aircraft are able to use five times more airports than commercial aircraft, opening up a whole world of unseen travel possibilities.

With a global Operations Center in Malta and having already flown to 96% of the world, VistaJet has the experience and expertise to take customers anywhere. The potential of discovery and adventure are endless.
