VistaJet Celebrates 20 Years
London, August 21, 2024: As VistaJet marks two decades as the global leader in private aviation, the company celebrates their rich history and their commitment to discovering all the planet can offer with its ever-expanding Private World program. Private World is a gift for all VistaJet Members, to fully immerse in the iconic silver and red legacy.
Luxury Evolves, Private World Responds
Luxury travel is undergoing a paradigm shift. As highlighted in a recent McKinsey & Company report, “Ultra-high-net-worth individuals prefer quiet luxury with personalized service — targeting remote, private destinations accessible via private airports that feature tailored experiences available nowhere else.”1 VistaJet Private World sits at the forefront of this trend, designing moments as individual as the travelers themselves.
A World of Enthralling Discoveries
VistaJet Members can fly to destinations in over 200 countries and territories worldwide. And as Members, they can also unlock the world with the experiences crafted by the Private World’s team and its network of hundreds of trusted partners. In fact, in 2023 Member requests more than doubled from the previous year, and 2024 is on track to surpass this, demonstrating the profound interest in exploring the world and meeting the incredible people that inhabit it. Requests are as unique as the Members themselves, including:
Exclusive Access: Witnessing the heart-pounding action of Formula 1 races worldwide thanks to VistaJet’s exclusive partnership with Ferrari and private dinners with drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.
Expert Experiences: From personalized wine tours through rolling vineyards around the world to embarking on rejuvenating wellness retreats across breathtaking locations in Sweden, Peru, or Ibiza.
Unforgettable Celebrations: Bespoke itineraries that turn visions into reality, ensuring every milestone is marked — from special birthdays to life-changing IPOs.
A Brand to Accompany a Life’s Journey
Private World is a testament to VistaJet’s commitment to continuously exploring the future with its Members and rewarding their preference to fly silver and red. Matteo Atti, Chief Marketing Officer at Vista says: “We see Private World as an enriching service for our Members’ lives. They trust in us as they fly to the world, and we want to ensure every second, from booking a flight to experiencing an unforgettable moment, is exceptional. The future is out there, and we want to discover it with them.”
The newest curated experiences and events for VistaJet Members include:
Botswana with Belmond

Eagle Island Lodge’s high-ceiling tented rooms in the Botswana wetlands are flooded with light, and each has a plunge pool and oversized bed with views of the Delta.
