Private aviation group Vista has signed a services agreement centred on Bombardier’s Smart Parts programme which will support portions of its existing fleet and future deliveries, including the majority of its Global 8000 fleet and the recent order of 40 firm and 120 optional Challenger 3500 aircraft.
Bombardier says the new Master Services Agreement will support higher aircraft availability and help to minimise any operational disruption, maintaining Vista’s consistently high service standards for its clients worldwide. The agreement provides Vista a comprehensive cost-per-flight hour framework which will deliver enhanced cost predictability.
The Smart Parts programme provides extensive cost coverage, Bombardier highlights, including component exchanges for major systems, avionics and brakes. “Bombardier’s pioneering Smart Parts cost-per-flight-hour programs are designed to maximise flexibility, convenience and budget predictability, making it an ideal choice for our longstanding customer Vista,” Paul Sislian, Executive Vice President, Aircraft Sales and Bombardier Aftermarket Services says.
“The services and support agreement with Vista leverages our iconic Smart Parts programmes and further deepens the relationship that exists between the two companies, providing cost protection for Vista’s Challenger and Global aircraft.”
“This agreement marks an important step in further enhancing the reliability and performance of the Vista fleet,” said Nick van der Meer, Chief Operating Officer at Vista. “By leveraging this agreement, we are strengthening our ability to deliver a seamless and consistent experience to our clients around the world, ensuring that every Vista flight meets the highest standards of quality, safety and service that our clients expect.”
