VistaJet will expand its fleet of all-Bombardier aircraft to 50 later this month with the delivery of another Global 6000. “The Global 6000 continues to be a popular addition to our fleet, providing the comfort, technology and range that our customers rely on when flying with VistaJet,” said company founder and chairman Thomas Flohr. “As our worldwide growth continues, we look forward to adding more Bombardier business aircraft to our fleet.”

In 2012 the company, which already operates the largest privately owned fleet of Bombardier business aircraft, placed one of the biggest orders in private aviation history for 56 Globals with options on 86 more, worth a potential $7.8 billion. It followed that up the next year with a $1.035 billion order with the Canadian airframer for up to 40 Challenger 350s.
