RocketRoute has today announced a strategic global partnership agreement with 'on demand' jet charter marketplace leader Victor. The two companies, both driven by innovative and smart technology, will work closely together exploring synergies of process and service to enhance the day-to-day performance of general aviation operators.
The agreement follows Victor's successful closing of a $20m Series B investment round, led by BP Ventures, the investment arm of global energy company BP. With new investment Victor plans to further develop its unique, data-driven ecosystem, into a new transactional B2B marketplace connecting suppliers, re-sellers (brokers) and other flight-planning and aviation fuel providers. Victor's agreement with RocketRoute complements this strategy, and will allow both businesses to collaborate on delivering compelling digital solutions for operators spanning integrated charter sales, bookings, flight ops management and trip support across a wide range of missions.
“Victor looks forward to collaborating on a range of projects with RocketRoute” says Clive Jackson, founder and CEO of Victor. “Both companies have an impressive track record for digital innovation in the general aviation space. By pooling our knowledge and resource, I'm confident we can deliver fresh efficiencies for operators and an exciting step-change for the wider industry.”
“RocketRoute's platform has long benefitted operators, connecting and arranging aviation services direct from leading service providers” says Kurt Lyall, co-founder of RocketRoute. “Victor shares our belief in better connecting the general aviation sector. Therefore this agreement will allow us to keep disrupting and advancing the industry, delivering new efficiencies and opportunities for partners, as well as our own two businesses."
“The strategic partnership gives us the opportunity to provide existing customers with improved access to the flight sales market where this is desired” adds Justin Coelho, co-founder and chief sales officer (CSO) of RocketRoute. “We're looking forward to progressing a close working relationship with Victor.”
