Magellan Jets vs. VistaJet
Focused On You: Not Optimizing a Fleet
Fleet-based providers like VistaJet are, by design, focused on maximizing the return on the aircraft they own. This is simply how an asset-heavy model works. But it raises a fair question: would you rather your provider be optimizing for their fleet, or optimizing for your trip?
Magellan Jets doesn’t own a fleet. That means we’re not balancing your mission against the need to keep specific tails utilized or profitable. Instead, we invest in people: the Advisors, operators, and relationships who find the right aircraft for your specific trip, every time. We sit on the same side of the table as our clients, matching the right solution to your mission rather than the other way around.
Access & Flexibility
Ultimate Flexibility
VistaJet’s Program requires a three-year membership commitment with annual hour minimums. Unused hours only carry over in limited amounts, so hours you don’t use in a given year can simply be lost. Magellan’s Jet Card works differently: a twelve-month term, hours that never expire, and the flexibility to scale your usage up or down each year as your travel needs change. You also have the freedom to purchase any number of hours after 25, with benefits that grow as you scale. And if market conditions ever make you reconsider your aviation investment altogether, our Jet Cards are refundable, giving you an exit that VistaJet’s multi-year structure doesn’t offer.
Outstanding Client Service & Flight Support
Each of our Jet Card Clients receive a personal onboarding session and a dedicated Private Aviation Advisor to assist and advocate for them. Magellan Jets stays personally involved in every flight with real-time communication from our 24/7, in-house Flight Support Department, and our Client Experience team is always ready to go above and beyond to completely personalize your experience and make your trip unforgettable.

Industry-Leading Safety
The real-time safety auditing we perform on every leg of every flight far surpasses our competitors. But we don’t simply exceed safety standards—we have a direct hand in driving the conversation and raising standards for the entire industry. Magellan was the first asset-light private aviation provider named to the Air Charter Safety Foundation, and our CEO, Joshua Hebert, also served as Chairman and was a founding ACSF member.
