XO
Vista’s on-demand/deposit channel—BJT and PJCC both treat it as the flexible sibling to VistaJet Program, not a second Program clone.

Why it is here
Business Jet Traveler’s July 2026 interview with Vista U.S. president Leona Qi separates XO from VistaJet: an app-based open-fleet membership over a 2,000+ aircraft network (plus priority on unused VistaJet lift), aimed at irregular / sub-~50-hour flyers and supplemental corporate demand. Private Jet Card Comparisons’ 13 Feb 2025 long-form after XOJet documents the deposit membership + dynamic marketplace stack (~1,800 active members; Elite Access fixed card retired; $100k membership deposit) and weaker guarantees than VistaJet Program. AIN’s 7 Oct 2025 Japan market piece independently confirms ongoing trade-press treatment of XO as a live Vista program brand alongside VistaJet. Parent leverage/IPO noise remains diligence; dynamic pricing is harder to budget than fixed Program rates.
Who it is for
Irregular / lower-frequency UHNW flyers who reject 25–50 hr fixed Program commitments and accept dynamic marketplace pricing.
