Vista Global inked a partnership with Tri-State Charter, a Part 135 operator with a fleet of VIP Bombardier CRJs and Challenger 850s. The collaboration aims to enhance per-seat shuttle services connecting premium leisure destinations in the U.S.

Operating under Tri-State’s new luxury brand, Slate Aviation, the initiative will expand on Vista’s existing XO-branded shuttle service between New York and South Florida. The service will feature upgraded cabins and enhanced onboard amenities, with the first of these improvements expected to debut in March.

Key features of Slate’s 18-seat, all-business-class CRJ-200s include nearly 50 inches of legroom, extendable foot and leg rests at every seat, and high-speed Wi-Fi. Passengers will also benefit from private terminal departures at select New York City airports, enhanced streaming entertainment, and gourmet dining accompanied by curated wine service. These services will be delivered by Slate’s specialized cabin attendants.

The partnership reflects Vista’s strategy to broaden its private travel options by leveraging XO’s booking platform and Slate’s fleet. This integration aims to provide a seamless travel experience while introducing new service features and expanding destination options throughout the year.
