Malta-based programme specialist operator VistaJet expects to have delivery of 13 Bombardier Global 7500 aircraft by the end of 2022. The company already has four of the long range, large capacity aircraft in service and pointed to their introduction as a major factor in its ability to meet heightened demand for private travel because of the Covid pandemic. In promoting the aircraft at the Dubai Air Show, VistaJet noted: “With the longest range, largest cabin and smoothest ride in its class, the Global 7500 is a game changer in private aviation”. The firm clocked up more than 9,000 flying hours worldwide with its Bombardier fleet in Q3 – an increase of 35% over the same period last year and 19% over 2019.
