Hong Kong / Singapore, May 22, 2025 – This summer, travelers may fully embrace holiday adventures alongside their beloved pets. VistaJet, the world’s first and only global private aviation company, has witnessed growing demand for pet-friendly summer travel and a 17% increase of flight traffic in 2024. Top destinations for VistaJet flights traveling with pets included London, New York, and Nice.

Through VistaJet’s comprehensive pet travel program, VistaPet, all travellers – whether human or animal – are ensured to enjoy unparalleled comfort and care at 45,000 feet from simplified flying solutions to customized private dining, in-flight entertainment and more. Beyond safe and stress-free flights, VistaJet continually supports Members through a curation of pet-friendly travel destinations that are meticulously hand-picked for the ultimate summer getaway.

“VistaJet understands that pets are an integral part of the family, so it is only natural that they should be beside us to share precious moments together. With a team of over 4,000 aviation experts who pay close attention to every detail, we are committed to making travel dreams come true.”

– Matteo Atti, Chief Marketing Officer at VistaJet

VistaPet as a Tailored Travel Solution

According to Euromonitor International, the estimated value of Asia Pacific’s pet care industry in 2024 was USD29 billion and projected to grow at the highest compound annual rate of 4% from 2024-2029, almost double North America (2.5%) and Western Europe (2.1%). This significant growth potential underlines why offering solutions to care for animals is increasingly important.
Since 2019, VistaPet responded to the unique needs and challenges faced when traveling with animals, through solutions designed in collaboration with experienced veterinary practitioners, coaches, dieticians, and groomers. The VistaPet program includes:

• VistaPet Pochette – a travel bag on board every flight containing bio-organic animal treats, water-free shampoos, soothing wipes and toys to keep companions entertained throughout the flight.
• Private Dining – Members can request a dedicated balanced menu to keep pets hydrated and healthy with a menu of fresh meat and fish or raw vegetables and whole grain brown rice.
• Fear of Flying courses – in partnership with The Dog House at selected locations to ensure flying with a scared pet may transform into a seamless journey.

Based on VistaJet’s data, dogs have emerged as the predominant type of pet passenger consecutively in 2024 and 2023. In contrast, the most distinctive passengers welcomed on board included the blue-tongued skink and Sulcata tortoise, both of whom have demonstrated notable enjoyment during flights.
“We were proud to assist a family travelling with their two elderly Great Dane dogs, a cat, and a large Sulcata tortoise in a flight. To ensure the comfort of all animals, particularly the tortoise, the heated floors were activated in the cabin to mimic its natural habitat, providing peace of mind to the owners.”

– Matteo Atti adds.

A Moonlit Harvest Feast in the Clouds

As the moon gazing journey begins onboard, savor artisan Eva Aguilera’s biodynamic Arbequina olive oil, harvested by hand during the full moon to ensure its purity and clean taste. Considered one of the finest in the world, only 650 litres are crafted annually in Catalunya. Luxuriously smooth and bursting with character, this olive oil is a tribute to nature and tradition and only served in the top restaurants of the world.

“It is our tradition to harvest during the full moon because we believe and respect the power of beautiful nature. We harvest and select by hand with friends and family so that is the love you taste in the oil. Every harvest is done with joy and we are very grateful that VistaJet may pass on our passion and tradition from the land to the sky during Mid-Autumn Festival.”

Founder of Aguilera Extra Virgen, Eva Aguilera Guillen

The Arbequina olive oil is available on flights departing from selected Asian cities. Passengers can savour this specially curated olive oil together with VistaJet’s meticulously prepared private dining meals.

In-flight celebrations would not be complete without festive treats. VistaJet’s diverse Private Dining partners have crafted delectable delicacies, such as mooncakes and glutinous rice balls, perfect for travelling families or passengers to indulge in for the ultimate Mid-Autumn feast onboard upon request.

The post VistaJet’s summer of imaginative journeys appeared first on VistaJet.

The star-studded event was hosted at Milan Linate Airport yesterday evening to celebrate the build-up to the racing season, commencing in Qatar on 2nd March. Guests were welcomed in a hangar to get close to the cars and board some of the best aircraft in the world–– a VistaJet Challenger 350 and Global 7500, and an AW189 helicopter.

The selected patrons in attendance included the Vista AF Corse car #54 drivers Thomas Flohr, Francesco Castellacci and Davide Rigon; Vista AF Corse car #55 drivers Simon Mann and Alessio Rovera; Scuderia Ferrari F1 drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz; sports stars including Mutaz Barshim, Giorgio Rocca, Tommaso Chieffi and Mauro Pelaschier as well as guests from VistaJet’s partners and friends such as Gareth Wittstock and Remo Ruffini.

“Thank you so much to all –– from near and far –– for coming to the official Vista AF Corse launch event. 2024 marks a special celebration, 20 exciting years of Vista –– a company that has evolved from one jet to now over 300 jets, covering 96% of the world. Who’d have thought all those years ago, when launching the first silver with a red stripe aircraft, we’d be standing where we are today, launching Vista AF Corse in the exact same livery?

I’m so proud to introduce the Vista AF Corse team. FIA WEC is at an incredible inflection point –– with nine manufacturers joining WEC GT in 2024, competing in what is the highest level of motorsport next to F1, a true world championship. To represent Ferrari with the two competing cars is a big honour and responsibility for our team. And also, a natural extension of Vista’s long-time partnership with Ferrari.”

Thomas Flohr, Founder and Chairman of Vista

Car #54 driver Francesco Castellacci presented a message on behalf of the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation. The words expressed a sense of pride in seeing the Foundation’s logo on the livery and relayed the gratitude felt by all at the Foundation for the Vista AF Corse support of its cause with a donation for every point won during the championship –– to promote healthy living and sports values, with a core focus on children’s safety.

“We will race in the most important endurance championship with two Ferrari 296 GT3, which will make their FIA WEC debut. It is an ambitious project that comes after so many years spent together on tracks all over the world and above all from the friendship that has been created and strengthened over time with Thomas.

It gives me immense pleasure to present two very strong driver line-ups with great potential to achieve the best results possible. I want to thank Thomas, the whole Vista group and Ferrari for believing in us and for choosing us as their team in the FIA WEC LMGT3 class.”

AMATO FERRARI

VistaJet guests and clients will now be able to follow the FIA WEC championship live, reserving a spot in the Vista house that will be set up at the main events, where VistaJet Cabin Hosts will offer a taste of the unparalleled in-cabin service and the gastronomic delights provided by VistaJet Private World chefs and partners.
