DateStageInvestorsRaisedDeal Summary
Mar 2025Undisclosed stageRRJ Capital (lead); Andalusian Private Capital$600MVista Global, the world’s leading global private aviation group owning VistaJet and XO, signed a definitive agreement on March 17, 2025, for a $600 million equity investment from a consortium led by RRJ Capital, with participation from Andalusian Private Capital and others, joining existing shareholders like Rhône Group LLC. The investment aims to optimize capital structure, enhance free cash flow, reduce indebtedness, accelerate deleveraging, and diversify the investor base, with the transaction expected to close by end of March 2025. Jefferies advised Vista, and UBS advised RRJ Capital. RRJ Capital, a Singapore-based private equity firm founded in 2011 managing around $25 billion in long-term capital, has a focus on industries including transportation and aviation, with prior investments over $1.5 billion in aviation-related companies. Vista’s Founder and Chairman Thomas Flohr highlighted the endorsement of the company’s strategy and excitement for the partnership in supporting next-phase growth. RRJ’s Richard Ong emphasized Vista’s 20+ years of innovation and global presence as a leading private jet company. Per a Financial Times report on Vista Global’s privately held financials, Q3 2024 revenues reached $2.1 billion (up 7%) and Adjusted EBITDA was $600 million (up 7%), providing context near the round announcement, though no valuation, multiples, or LTM figures for the funding were disclosed in press releases. Additional reports noted a concurrent term loan raise and year-end 2024 unaudited total debt estimate of $4.237 billion, with prior rumors of up to $1 billion raise and possible IPO denied by Flohr.
Sep 2018Undisclosed stageRhône Group (lead)$200MIn September 2018, Thomas Flohr launched Vista Global Holding as a consolidation vehicle for the fragmented business aviation market, backed by a further $200 million investment from global private equity firm Rhône Group. The investment was intended to strengthen Vista Global's balance sheet as it pursued acquisition opportunities in the sector. Rhône Group, with approximately $5.5 billion in assets under management at that time, had previously invested $150 million in VistaJet (Flohr's operating company) in 2017, valuing that entity at more than $2.5 billion. Vista Global was structured as an asset-light, fully integrated group offering comprehensive services for business aviation customers, headquartered at the Dubai International Financial Centre. The company subsequently acquired XOJET through a transaction closed in December 2018, dramatically expanding its penetration of the U.S. market and combining operations of approximately 115 super midsize and large cabin jets with XOJET's charter brokerage arm.
