Victor – Setting The Standard In Private Jet Charter

Victor – Setting The Standard In Private Jet Charter

Founded in 2011, Victor’s mission is to make aircraft charter easier and faster than ever before. Our awardwinning, innovative approach combines on-demand booking technology, transparent pricing and exceptional 24/7 service.

With direct access to top-rated business aircraft, private jets, turboprops and helicopters, we offer an unrivalled global selection of aircraft.

Our service is on-demand, meaning no membership fees and no hidden charges. In addition, through our frequent flier programme all customers are able to earn Alto points on every flight, which can be used to reduce the cost of future flights. Unlike fractional ownership programmes or subscription models that require significant upfront commitments, you only pay for the trips you fly, when you need them, at the best possible price.

Victor was the first charter company to bring transparency and accessibility to the market of private aviation. After almost 10 years, 77% CAGR (2012 to 2018) and numerous fast track awards, the company is now leading the way to become the world’s most environmentally responsible company in private aviation. “

Call us, email us at climateaction@victor.com or go online to flyvictor.com and join Victor today. And for individuals and corporate flyers, we want you to commit to #flywithpurpose and #flyvictor. You can also choose to go beyond 200% offset. Your commitment will make a huge difference and, in the context of your charter flight, the costs are negligible. Clive Jackson, Victor CEO and Founder “

THREE REASONS TO CHOOSE US Whether you need a single trip, a group charter or a complex tour, we offer the ultimate on-demand solution for all your charter requirements.

• Unrivalled Charter Quotations Victor is the only on-demand jet charter provider to offer fully transparent quotes, disclosing actual operator and aircraft details before you book.

Safety and security are paramount, and as an Argus-approved charter provider, we work with the top AOC-certified operators. Our customers also benefit from Alto, the world’s first frequent-flyer points programme for private jet charter.

• Unparalleled 24/7 Service

Victor is available 24/7 by phone, web or app. Registering is free and you are assigned a Personal Account Manager to handle all your requirements. Bookings are covered by Victor’s Consumer Protection and payments for flights (less booking fees) are held in a separate HSBC client deposit account until takeoff.

• Market-Leading Environmentalism

Victor is committed to transforming the world around us. Every booking includes a minimum of 200% offset, equivalent to approximately 0.3% of the booking cost. If they wish, clients can offset to a higher amount through our Unlimited Offset Programme. We are also working actively to reduce emissions and increase sustainable fuel usage.

Victor’s Three Climate Action Initiatives

Victor is committed to transforming private aviation and we are passionate about sustainability. We pursue our commitment to climate action in three ways.

CARBON OFFSETTING In 2018, Victor introduced a carbon offset scheme whereby 25% of our flights in Europe flew carbon neutral. Now, every Victor booking includes a minimum of 200% offset, although clients can top up to a higher level of 400%, 800% or more if they wish. A carbon offset negates the same amount of carbon emissions you release in the atmosphere, with a carbon credit equal to one tonne of CO2. The offset is created by supporting clean energy projects, such as the reduction of deforestation in Zambia and the installation of biogas plants in China and India. 1

REDUCING FUEL BURN Victor is working with its sister company RocketRoute, a leading global flight planning provider, in order to calculate emissions, optimise routes and reduce fuel burn. After each flight, RocketRoute records the flight plan filed by every operator. This provides Victor with a highly accurate, audited view of actual fuel consumption for its credit calculations. In addition, Victor compares the actual flight plan data with an optimal flight plan that is simulated by RocketRoute just prior to takeoff, in order to pinpoint fuel burn inefficiencies. RocketRoute and Victor then feed these insights back to the operators, in order to help them reduce their emissions. 2

SUSTAINABLE FUELS ADOPTION In partnering with Neste, the world’s largest producer of sustainable biofuel, Victor is on a mission to promote awareness of waste-to-fuel solutions and to drive their adoption within the private aviation industry. 3

Waste-to-fuel solutions limit methane-emitting landfill and are considerably more environmentally beneficial than crop-to-fuel alternatives, which almost always results in greater greenhouse gas emissions inefficiencies. The challenges of SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuels) are awareness, perception, availability and price. “

This will take time and more than just Victor’s efforts with the consumer alone. Adoption will require innovation, distribution, government support and of course enduring commercial partnerships between the producers and distributors. Mike Ryan, Victor Co-Founder and Head of Supply “

“Victor’s founder and CEO Clive Jackson has set a new benchmark for the private aviation sector. We are delighted to see them taking a bold leadership position. The EBAA recognise and endorse their willingness to openly address the extent and scale of aircraft emissions and commend their commitment to mandate and absorb the associated costs of carbon offset credits that go well beyond carbon neutral. Encouraging their flying customers to contribute on equal terms shows a commitment to drive behavioural change and to influence and inspire others to follow. We look forward to working together with Victor to champion this exciting initiative, which fully supports the Business Aviation Commitment on Climate Change (BACC), established in 2009, which sets out three milestone aspirational goals:

An improvement in fuel efficiency of an average of 2% per year from 2009 until 2020

Carbon-neutral growth by 2020 A reduction in total CO2 emissions of 50% by 2050 relative to 2005

There are four key mechanisms towards achieving those goals: technology (which encompasses sustainable aviation fuel), operations, infrastructure and market-based measures.”
