VistaJet Comparison
Magellan Jets
VS Vistajet
• Debt Free & Financially Stable
• No Hidden Fees
• Hours Never Expire
Magellan Jets offers favorable rates, more transparent pricing, and greater flexibility than VistaJet. Our model relies on personalizing service and elevating client experiences, not on maximizing a fleet for profit—and while the asset-heavy Vista Jet makes headlines for being $4.4 billion in debt, Magellan Jets remains financially stable, asset-light, and completely debt free, giving you the ultimate peace of mind in your investment.

What Makes Us Different
VistaJet and other fleet-based providers are concerned with maximizing return on investment from the aircraft they own—but would you rather your provider be focused on making their fleet as profitable as possible, or on making your experience perfect? Since Magellan doesn’t own a fleet, we’re able to invest in people rather than on fixed aircraft assets. We sit on the same side of the table as our clients, finding the right solution for their mission and never putting a need to optimize a fleet over their need to get where they’re going.
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 private jet broker named to the Air Charter Safety Foundation, and our CEO, Joshua Hebert, also served as Chairman and was a founding member.
VistaJet locks customers into three-year terms, only allowing you to roll over up to 20 percent of your unused hours—if you don’t use them, you lose them. Magellan’s Jet Card features a twelve-month term with hours that never expire, allowing you to easily scale your usage up or down from year to year as needed. In the event market conditions force you to reconsider your aviation investment, our Jet Cards are refundable.
Each of our Jet Card Owners receive a personal onboarding session and a dedicated Private Aviation Consultant to advise 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 Guest Experience team is always ready to go above and beyond to completely personalize your experience and make your trip unforgettable.
