VistaJet, the first and only truly global business aviation company and part of the Vista group, reaffirmed its deep commitment to Saudi Arabia today through an exclusive media and stakeholder showcase held at Jet Aviation Riyadh at King Khalid International Airport. The event marks the latest step in VistaJet’s expanding presence in the Kingdom, following the August 2025 landmark approval from the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) to operate domestic flights in Saudi Arabia — making VistaJet the first foreign operator permitted to offer internal flights within Saudi Arabia.VistaJet has served the Kingdom for more than 15 years — longer than any other international operator — and the Riyadh showcase highlighted how this experience, combined with the company’s membership model and fully owned and managed floating fleet, enables it to meet surging local demand with unmatched speed, flexibility, and efficiency. The event brought together senior government representatives, aviation partners, and leading Riyadh-based media for an insider view of VistaJet’s flagship Bombardier Global 7500, the world’s fastest and longest-range purpose-built business jet and part of Vista’s market-leading global fleet.Hosted by Mazen Obaid, President – Middle East at Vista, the showcase centred on VistaJet’s accelerated growth in Saudi Arabia. Obaid noted that the Kingdom has become one of VistaJet’s most strategically important global markets, with a 32% increase in Program Memberships in H1 2025. Demand continues to rise across corporates, ultra-high-net-worth families, government entities, and international investors who rely on Vista’s consistent long-range connectivity and global access.Obaid highlighted that Saudi Arabia’s aviation sector is undergoing a historic transformation — from giga-project development and world-class infrastructure expansion to bold regulatory modernization under Vision 2030. He emphasized that these advancements align seamlessly with VistaJet’s global model of interconnected, on demand flying, positioning the Kingdom at the centre of private aviation growth in the Middle East.During the event, guests were given a private tour of the Global 7500, experiencing VistaJet’s design philosophy, service standards, and global fleet capability across more than 270 aircraft — including the world’s largest international fleet of Global 7500s and soon, next-generation Global 8000 jets. The aircraft’s ultra-long-range performance, enabling non-stop flights from Saudi Arabia to key destinations across Europe, Asia, and the United States, was highlighted as essential for the increasingly international travel patterns of Saudi clients.VistaJet reiterated its close collaboration with GACA and its alignment with the Kingdom’s aviation ambitions, underscoring the company’s commitment to expanding its operational presence, investing locally, and hiring Saudi talent as part of its long-term partnership with the Kingdom.Mazen Obaid, President – Middle East at Vista, said: “Today’s showcase reflects our longstanding relationship with Saudi Arabia and our commitment to being a genuine long-term partner. The Kingdom is at the forefront of global aviation transformation, and VistaJet is proud to support this momentum with world-class service, reliable global access, and sustained investment in the market. After 15 years flying in and out of the Kingdom, we are excited to embark on our next chapter in Saudi Arabia.”VistaJet’s strengthened position in the Kingdom forms part of VistaJet’s broader strategy to strengthen its presence across the Middle East, as demand for premium, global, on demand private aviation continues to rise in line with the region’s economic transformation and increasing global connectivity.
