Vista logs record growth as UAE private aviation demand climbs

Vista reported record 2025 performance, delivering more than 210,000 flight hours globally as demand for structured private aviation services accelerated.

Middle East subscription flying hours rose 34% year-on-year, reflecting growing demand from UAE-based businesses and investors for guaranteed aircraft access and fixed-cost travel.

Headquartered in Dubai International Financial Centre, Vista said Dubai is increasingly serving as a global operations base connecting Europe, Asia and North America.

Global private aviation activity reached 6.4 million flight hours in 2025, up 5% annually.

Vista also confirmed plans to upgrade 18 Global 7500 aircraft to Global 8000 standard and expand fleet capacity through a major Bombardier Challenger 3500 agreement.
