Global 8000 upgrade plan, Smart Parts agreement, Greater China promotion
VistaJet pursues multi-track strategy in 2026: April 15 received first G7500→G8000 upgrade with plan to sequentially upgrade all 18 G7500s; signed $300M / 5-year Smart Parts aftermarket agreement with Bombardier; ordered large Challenger 3500 batch (specific quantity includes options); May 21 brought G8000 to China for display promotion. But operating data reveals pressure: VistaJet global business jet movements crashed 25–29% from March; per-aircraft utilization fell from 41 to 29.9 movements/month — fleet size unchanged but demand-side sharply contracted; long-term expansion and short-term operational contraction form contrast.
