Vista, the world's leading private aviation group, is proud to announce its participation in the inaugural Business Aviation Asia Forum and Expo (BAAFEx) 2025 held at Singapore's Changi Exhibition Centre (March 4-6). Alongside its designated booth (E10), Vista will showcase the flagship Global 7500 and share its expertise in two thought-provoking panel discussions.

With over two decades of significant growth, and over 1 million flight hours logged since, Vista is positioned as the #1 global operator1. BAAFEx provides a platform for the industry to spotlight the dynamic business growth across Asia Pacific – a key market for Vista's pioneering services.

The leadership of Vista is further underscored by its impressive performance in 2024. Key milestones achieved in the first three quarters of 2024 in Asia Pacific include a 14% increase in total flight hours and 20% rise in flight traffic which reflects the increasing demand of private travel in the region.

Ian Moore, Chief Commercial Officer at Vista and VistaJet, says: "We are incredibly excited to participate in BAAFEx, marking the return of a dedicated business aviation event in Asia Pacific. It is a dynamic and rapidly expanding region, representing a cornerstone of Vista's global expansion strategy. Our presence is a testimony of our commitment to serving this region's discerning clientele."

Flagship Global 7500 Showcase at BAAFEx

Vista will showcase the Global 7500, the world's largest and longest-range business jet, at BAAFEx, highlighting its ultra-long-haul capabilities of flying up to 17 hours non-stop.

Designed for maximum comfort, the luxurious cabin includes four living zones, a private stateroom, two bathrooms, and ample storage, making it perfect for work or family travel. VistaJet, as part of Vista, operates the largest fleet of Global 7500, with 18 aircraft ensuring Members guaranteed availability across over 2,400 airports, covering 96% of the globe, solidifying its status as the region's most popular aircraft.

Leck Chet Lam, Managing Director of Experia Events, the organizer of BAAFEx, says: "We are delighted to welcome Vista, a global leader in business aviation, to BAAFEx 2025. As we gather industry leaders to shape the future of the sector, Vista's expertise and continued success in Asia Pacific will undoubtedly provide valuable insights into the region's rapidly evolving aviation landscape. Vista's participation, along with their Global 7500 display, highlights the importance of Asia Pacific as a dynamic growth hub for the industry."
