International private flight provider Vista is preparing to expand operations in Asia next year, having recently announced plans to increase its presence in markets such as Japan. In March, the group was boosted by a $600 million investment by Asian private equity firm RRJ Capital.

Late last month, the group relaunched its VistaJet and XO programs in an event at Tokyo Haneda Airport (RJTT) with one of its Bombardier Global 7500s on display. According to Vista, it achieved growth in flight volumes of between 45% and 55% in the country during the first half of 2025, although it did not specify actual flight volumes operated in cities that also include Hokkaido, Naha, and Osaka.
