VistaJet Founder Thomas Flohr Shares His Global Routine and Business Philosophy
Thomas Flohr, the founder, chairman and CEO of VistaJet, describes a day that blends worldwide travel, client-centric work and personal fitness.
Thomas Flohr launched VistaJet in 2004, turning a single Learjet purchase into a subscription platform that offers access to more than 270 customized jets across 187 countries. He splits his time among offices in Dubai, London, New York and his residence in St. Moritz, adapting his schedule to align with American, European and Middle Eastern business hours. Mornings begin with coffee and inbox triage, followed by client-focused calls that often involve major purchase decisions or intricate flight plans.
Afternoons are dedicated to coordinating unusual requests, such as multi-continent marathon trips or synchronising executives from four continents for a board meeting in India. Evenings feature a light, health-oriented dinner, a home bowling session, and a screen-free wind-down with classical music or 1970s-80s rock.
