KUALA LUMPUR, March 13 -- VistaJet, the first and only global business aviation company is taking additional steps to strengthen safety and security procedures during this coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
According to a statement, dedicated Flight Approval and Coordination teams are working 24/7 to assess and approve any booking and change requests from a technical, safety and security standpoint.
To help reduce the spread of the virus, VistaJet works with leading experts, including Control Risks and Osprey for security and safety advice using both human and AI-driven intelligence, while MedAire provides leading medical support on the ground and in the air.
All crew are checked for signs of the virus twice daily and each VistaJet aircraft is sanitised after every flight. As a precautionary measure, should authorities determine that a COVID-19 carrier travelled on a VistaJet aircraft, that tail and crew will be temporarily withdrawn from use.
For upcoming bookings, passengers may be required to complete additional travel documents and health certificates, and those who have recently travelled to high risk locations may have their temperature tested, prior to boarding.
In the same statement, the company announced it has made a positive start this year as customers seek VistaJet’s commitment to security, flexibility of travel and privacy, which are not guaranteed by any other type of transport during times of instability.
VistaJet’s total number of flights has increased by a further 16 per cent YOY and the company continues to see strong demand across all regions.
The United States registered the greatest number of flights during the first two months of the year, making up 23 per cent of global flights. Despite the deep impact of the virus spreading across Asia, demand from the continent remains stable at 11 per cent.
