Vista Global's big year: Buying XOJET, JetSmarter, creating XO and elevating VistaJet

Thomas Flohr has increased his position in the United States and now is looking to make an even strong statement worldwide with the Bombardier Global 7500

Looking back over the past year, it was only in September 2018 Thomas Flohr formed Dubai-based Vista Global as a holding company for VistaJet. Weeks later he bought XOJET. Then earlier this year he bought JetSmarter, merging it with XOJET to create XO. Additionally, VistaJet keeps rolling out high-end programming while XO launched a 3.5-hour rate cap on its super-midsize fleet.
