JetSelect Aviation, trading as Vista America, has introduced the GV type to its Part 135-certified fleet in November 2024, adding two units, while simultaneously retiring its final Challenger 605, ch-aviation research has revealed.

N803HH (msn 665) was the sole GV on the charter fleet of Starjet (United States of America), at that time registered as N333LX, until May 2024. The 22.2-year-old aircraft was first active under the 'VJA' code on November 10, flying between Morristown Municipal and White Plains.

The second unit, N776RB (msn 585), was previously operated by Jet Edge, also trading as Vista America. Its last flight for the previous operator under the 'EDG' code was on November 22 between Sacramento International and Boston. Later that day, the 24.9-year-old jet departed to Bedford, MA under the 'VJA' code.

Following the addition of these two GVs, JetSelect Aviation and Jet Edge are the only operators within the Vista America group offering the GV type for charter, with a total of three aircraft now in service.

Meanwhile, JetSelect Aviation has retired the Challenger 605 type, transferring the last of its 12 units to VistaJet (Malta), where it will be re-registered as 9H-VFS, joining a fleet of 16 additional Challenger 605s on the carrier's Maltese fleet.

N26JE (msn 5795) was actively flying under the 'VJA' code within the United States until July 18, when it completed a flight from Boston to Greensboro Piedmont Triad International. The 15.9-year-old jet remained parked there, flying to Malta International between November 16 and 19, with stops at Bangor International and London Biggin Hill.

JetSelect Aviation’s Part 135 certificate currently includes a total of 78 aircraft, comprising thirty-six Challenger 300s, eleven Challenger 350s, one Challenger 3500, a recently added G300, eight G450s, ten GIV-SPs, two GVs, six Global 5000s, and three Global 7500s.

This retirement also marks the end of Challenger 605 operations within the Vista America group, as neither Jet Edge, Red Wing Aviation, nor XOJET Aviation operates the type. Of the 12 units that the group operated, seven were transferred to VistaJet Malta, while two are under the Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) of Charlie Foxtrot Aviation, which operates them on behalf of VistaJet in India.

The Vista America brand, encompassing four different Part 135-certified operators, now operates a fleet of 128 aircraft.
