Flying fit: VistaJet championing wellness in the skies
As the world gears up to celebrate World Health Day on April 7th, VistaJet, the world’s first and only global business aviation company, emphasizes the importance of prioritizing health and wellness when travelling by air. By inspiring its Members to integrate wellness into their travel experience, VistaJet continues to revolutionize the aviation industry by placing wellness at the forefront of the journey.
Whilst the quest for a healthy life and living longer has existed as long as humankind, the wellness industry has experienced phenomenal growth in recent years, with McKinsey & Company estimating the value of the global wellness market at more than $1.5 trillion. Add to this the toll air travel can take on health – from jet lag to dehydration to weakened immune systems – and the challenges are numerous, especially for frequent fliers. With its Members flying weekly, VistaJet not only recognizes these concerns, but is committed to empowering travellers to mitigate these risks and arrive at their destinations feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to seize the day.
Thanks to its truly global infrastructure and network, VistaJet has curated dedicated wellness solutions in the air and at destinations across the world that resonate with the people who fly on its silver and red aircraft. The result is VistaJet’s 360 Wellness Program – a comprehensive initiative designed to offer tailored solutions to various perspectives and needs and support travellers’ well-being at every stage of their journey.
From pre-flight consultations with VistaJet Nutritionists to in-flight experiences featuring ergonomic seating on the game-changing Global 7500 aircraft, meditation and breathing apps, and wellness dining menus curated to rejuvenate, restore, and relax, passengers are catered to with a wide range of amenities and services. Post-flight, travellers can access wellness guides created by leading global physician Dr Jordan Shlain and his team at Private Medical, providing tips, exercises, and guidance for maintaining optimal well-being after flying.
VistaJet’s Wellness Program spans four continents and over 20 wellness disciplines, providing exclusive access to both ancient wellness philosophies and the latest treatments in modern private medicine. Thanks to its Private World network of over 600 partners around the globe, including world-leading institutions, brands and experts, VistaJet has something for everyone seeking to enhance their health and wellbeing. This offering includes an exclusive partnership with Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som in Qatar, the Middle East’s first and largest full-immersion wellness destination.
Other VistaJet wellness journeys providing lifelong discoveries include:
Dining with resident monks at a private lunch at a monastery in the Bhutanese mountains.
Learning about the way of life and wellness of the local Sami community in Sweden.
Participating in a cacao ceremony in the Sacred Valley.
A behind-the-scenes visit to the iconic Guerlain’s orchidarium laboratory, where their prized secret formula orchids known for their anti-ageing and longevity properties are grown and used in the Orchidée Impériale collection.
Consulting with the world’s leading physicians in private medicine and bio-hacking therapies.
This carefully considered and worldwide range of journeys has never been offered before in one place, as easily or as seamlessly. Offering the freedom to choose what living well means to its Members, VistaJet invites them to explore wellness from a new perspective.
Matteo Atti, VistaJet’s Chief Marketing Officer, remarked: “In the 20 years since its inception in 2004, VistaJet has set itself apart by challenging norms and aiming to make private flying simple and efficient. The VistaJet Wellness program continues this tradition, transforming the flight experience from potentially tiring to energizing, integrating onboard wellness facilities and services with destinations focused on well-being.”
