Private aviation is no longer a niche luxury, it's becoming a major business story. Global private jet activity reached a record 3.9 million flights in 2025, up 34% from pre-pandemic levels, while airports are making major investments to capitalize on growing demand for premium travel experiences. The trend is playing out across the country. As President of VistaJet US, Leona Qi has a unique perspective on these shifts. Vista flies many of the executives, entrepreneurs and investors making expansion and investment decisions around the world, giving the company an early view into where business activity and capital are moving before those trends appear in traditional economic data.
