VistaJet Gains Domestic Flying Rights in Saudi Arabia After Rule Chang

VistaJet has become the first international private aviation firm to secure door-to-door flying rights within Saudi Arabia following a regulatory shift. The General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) granted its approval recently, after lifting cabotage restrictions for charter flights earlier in May.

Demand for private air travel in the Kingdom continues to rise, with VistaJet reporting a 32% increase in Saudi Program Members in the first half of 2025 compared to the previous year. The airline has maintained a presence in Saudi Arabia for over 15 years, making it the longest-standing overseas private jet operator in the market.
