Part of the Vista Global group: also Vista America, VistaJet
Vista Global bought Air Hamburg in 2022 and kept the brand and German AOC. A late-2025 wiki entry mentions redundancies as the fleet shrinks and Falcon 7X, Legacy 500 and Lineage types are being phased out, leaving a Legacy 600/650 and XLS+ fleet; applications go through the Vista careers site.
