Default Covid free Vacations by Vista Jet

One of the byproducts of the Covid-19 era has been a sharp rise in interest in private air travel. Nearly a half-dozen charter companies report that inquiries during the summer months have risen by 75 percent over the previous year, with bookings up about 25 percent. This was mostly due to first-time fliers engaged in personal travel.


VistaJet, which owns its own fleet of jets and offers pay-by-the hour flights and membership subscriptions, has a similar suite of safety protocols. The company also tries to ensure that one crew member handles each trip to limit guests’ exposure to people outside of their groups.Several private-aviation and high-end travel companies have put together anti-Covid-19 vacation packages that maximize safety through exclusivity. “With check-in, security, and access to bathrooms and food, there are about 700 touchpoints that travelers can be exposed to when traveling commercially,” says Ian Moore, chief commercial officer of VistaJet, citing a recent report by McKinsey & Company. “Meanwhile, private aviation offers a seamless and effective private terminal process with only 20 touchpoints.”

VistaJet’s seven itineraries, part of the company’s Safe Havens program, are globe-spanning trips that focus on private destinations as a way to limit exposure. The company says that its trips to Velaa Private Island in the Maldives and Pittormie Castle in Scotland have drawn much interest. It is also working with domestic partners like Blue Marble Private to ferry its guests to a highly secretive private cowboy estate that costs up to $180,000 per night for a three-night minimum stay.
