VistaJet has launched an ambitious expansion of its premium aviation services into East and Southern Africa, following successful operations in West Africa. The global business aviation company has initiated promotional activities in major urban centers including Nairobi, Johannesburg, and Cape Town.
The company’s strategic expansion provides dedicated aircraft services across the region, enabling direct flights between key African cities and international destinations. These routes connect major business hubs like Nairobi, Johannesburg, and Cape Town with global destinations such as London, eliminating unnecessary stops and reducing travel time.
Philippe Scalabrini, President of Europe and Africa at VistaJet, points to Africa’s economic growth as a driving force behind the expansion. The company aims to support regional corporations and governments with efficient travel solutions that match the continent’s rapid development.
The flagship aircraft in VistaJet’s fleet, the Global 7500, showcases advanced aviation technology with capabilities that set new industry standards. This aircraft covers distances up to 7,700 nautical miles and sustains flight times reaching 17 hours. Its modern engine design delivers improved fuel efficiency while reducing noise and emissions.
Passengers aboard the Global 7500 experience luxury across four distinct living spaces. The aircraft features a six-seat dining area, entertainment facilities, and a private stateroom. High-speed internet connectivity ensures business continuity during flights.
VistaJet combines its premium fleet with AI-powered technology to enhance operational efficiency. The company’s flight key software optimizes fuel usage and route selection while facilitating multilingual communication across its global network.
Through its Program and Direct membership options, VistaJet offers flexible access to its entire fleet. These services cater to ultra-high-net-worth individuals, corporate executives, and government officials who require reliable, luxurious travel solutions.
The expansion into East and Southern Africa represents VistaJet’s commitment to building a comprehensive global aviation network. This strategic growth positions the company to serve emerging markets while maintaining its standards of efficiency, safety, and luxury service.
