On Sunday former United States of America President, Barrack Obama returned to Kenya, this time round in an exclusive private jet called the VistaJet.
The luxurious plane is owned by a Swiss company VistaJet — which is a global business aviation company that flies government, corporate and rich private clients.
Vistajet, which has a fleet of over 70 aircrafts worldwide, is owned by billionaire businessman Thomas Flohr.
While the plane might be way different from the ‘Flying White House’ Obama used during his last visit, luxury and comfort that goes beyond ordinary were at his disposal in the ‘VistaJet’.

The VistaJet cabin crew are trained by the British Butler Institute and they are taught to discreetly keep tabs on each customer and update their files with details of their preferences.
American business magazine Fast Company reports that food and drink options in the aircraft include VistaJet’s own branded caviar, a Nobu menu, and renowned mixologist Simone Caporale’s global-inspired cocktail collection.
If a customer order a classic gin and tonic, it comes with an essence of Indian spice.
There is a sleep preparation program, where clients receive special pajamas and relaxing herbal teas prior to resting on Egyptian cotton linens, feather duvets, and cashmere blankets.
VistaJet Creative Director Nina Flohr told Fast Company: “They’re busy people, they’re always on the go, so what we’re trying to capture with our cabin experience is that home away from home.”
