Vista Global Holding, trading as Vista, has issued a USD525 million unsecured bond while keeping the option of an initial public offering (IPO) open, chairman Thomas Flohr told CNBC....
Bombardier is pursuing expansion in India while entering a long-term fleet agreement with Vista Global for Challenger 3500 business jets. The deal includes 40 firm orders plus 120 options, providing production visibility as India's airport infrastructure upgrades and growing business aviation market create new opportunities. The company plans to open a new manufacturing centre in Dorval with government support, aligning production capacity with expected demand. This comes as Bombardier balances expansion with debt reduction, having recently redeemed $500 million of senior notes using balance sheet cash. The developments give investors insight into how Bombardier is positioning itself in emerging markets whilst managing its financial profile. The company competes with Gulfstream, Dassault and Textron in the corporate and charter segments.
Bombardier has redeemed US$500 million of its 6.000% Senior Notes due 2028 using balance sheet cash, whilst securing a long-term fleet agreement with Vista Global for 40 firm Challenger 3500 jets plus 120 options. The company also plans a new manufacturing centre in Dorval, backed by a repayable loan from Quebec. The Vista Global deal reinforces backlog visibility and supports planned production growth in Bombardier's focused business jet model. Management has highlighted potential demand from India's expanding airport infrastructure as an additional growth opportunity. However, investors should note Bombardier's concentrated exposure to business jets could amplify any shock to premium travel demand. The company's narrative projects US$10.2 billion revenue and US$980.5 million earnings by 2028, requiring 5.4% yearly revenue growth.
Vista introduces next-generation global in-flight connectivity With Gogo Galileo. LONDON, Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Vista, the world's leading private aviation group, has announced a landmark partnership with Gogo to bring the new Gogo Galileo broadband connectivity system to its global fleet, setting a new benchmark for connectivity in the air. The rollout will begin in November 2025 across Vista's European fleet, followed by rapid implementation in the United States and Asia from January 2026. This will see one aircraft upgraded with the Gogo Galileo terminal every nine days, reaching at least 60 aircraft within the first 18 months. The new purpose built for business aviation system delivers enterprise-grade broadband powered by the Eutelsat OneWeb constellation. The low-latency connectivity allows Vista Members to stream, host video conferences, and connect with family, colleagues and clients seamlessly, from boarding to landing. Unlike traditional solutions that disconnect below 10,000 feet or over water, the Gogo Galileo terminals optimizes dedicated business aviation bandwidth ensuring consistent, high-speed service worldwide, without competing with residential bandwidth, or other industry sectors. The system combines a single AVANCE unit and Galileo antenna for simpler installation and greater reliability. It enables real-time monitoring, over-the-air updates and a self-service portal providing performance transparency for Vista's Operations teams. To guarantee immediate support, Vista and Gogo have already secured spare parts at all major Vista maintenance centers worldwide, minimizing potential downtime. Vista Chairman and Founder Thomas Flohr commented: "Our Members expect a global standard of ultimate excellence - in service, safety and now, connectivity. With Gogo Galileo, we are delivering the most advanced Wi-Fi experience available in business aviation, anywhere in the world. This partnership is another step in our ongoing investment to make every flight as seamless, productive and enjoyable as possible." "We are extremely pleased to bring the benefits of the Gogo Galileo terminal to so many Vista aircraft. As the world's largest membership-based operator, providing on-demand charter to a diverse range of global destinations, we know that its members will appreciate the consistent, low-latency connectivity on whichever route they fly," adds Chris Moore, CEO, Gogo. "The system reliability will ensure passengers enjoy an on-the-ground connectivity experience in the air to stay productive, relaxed and entertained, even in the most remote of locations and is backed by multi-lingual 24/7/365 support to ensure always-on connectivity." For the first time, Vista Members will enjoy uninterrupted broadband across continents, oceans, and all phases of flight. Whether streaming a live event, finalizing a transaction or video-calling family at 45,000 feet, connectivity now mirrors the speed and reliability of the office or home. By mid-2026, all 270 Vista aircraft will feature either Gogo Galileo or upgraded Ku/ Ka-band connectivity - ensuring a consistent, high-speed experience on every flight worldwide.
