Victor Launches Direct Private Jet Service to Cuba from 19 U.S. Cities
October 1, 2015
An exciting partnership between Victor and Cuba Educational Travel (CET), a premiere and federally approved on-the-ground operator that plans unique experiences with some of Cuba's top influencers and tastemakers, means that U.S. travelers have access to the luxuries of the formerly forbidden island for the first time ever.
Following the historic re-establishment of diplomatic ties between Cuba and the U.S., the new routes and itineraries by CET abide by all federal guidelines, making the planning process with Victor completely seamless. Guests will enjoy ultra-exclusive experiences such as cigar and rum tastings with Cuba's leading cigar expert and master distiller, a private cocktail reception and viewing with Cuba's leading artists, intimate concerts with renowned entertainers such as the Buena Vista Social Club, Carlos Varela and Gente de Zona, and exclusive dinners with prominent cultural figures, historians or other specialists. Itineraries are customizable to the desires of the traveler and include accommodations in hotels or upscale rented homes, travel in classic American autos from the 1950s, top-notch restaurants and all event and activity programming. Victor members in the U.S. can book direct flights to Havana from 19 major US cities, including Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Dallas, Fort Lauderdale, Houston, Los Angeles, Key West, Miami, New York City, Minneapolis, New Orleans, Oakland, Orlando, Palm Beach, Pittsburgh, Fort Myers, Tampa and Puerto Rico.
Victor and Cuba Educational Travel are able to customize programs for single travelers, families or larger groups. Prices for a group of eight travelers flying direct to Havana for a four-night program begin at USD $40,000. Planes approved to fly to Cuba include the Lear 45, Challenger 300 or Citation X for mid-cabin options, or the popular G-IV heavy jet – all of which Victor has plenty of access to through its operator network. To book, travelers may call +1 877 275 9336 or email membersusa@flyvictor.com, or request a quote beginning October 5, 2015 using the
Victor app
available for download in the App Store.
In less than a year, Victor has expanded beyond its UK roots and grown exponentially within the U.S. market. In April 2015, Victor launched the first completely transparent app that allows flyers to search, compare, book and board more than 7,000 jets at 40,000 airports worldwide with real-time pricing – entirely from their smartphones. Unlike traditional charter brokers who keep the identity of their suppliers hidden, Victor publishes every charter quote detail, including aircraft specifics, so that travelers can make fair and informed travel decisions. The transparency and consistency of the Victor offering, combined with a unique blend of high technology and high-touch customer service, has established a new level of personal service for private jet travelers.
After strengthening its services, Victor made waves with the acquisition of YoungJets, a Santa Barbara-based private jet service, and announced a total of $26M in funding since the company began trading in Europe 48 months ago. Most recently, Victor was announced the fifteenth fastest-growing private technology company in the U.K., according to The Sunday Times 2015 Tech Track 100 list, an annual compilation based on audited figures from the last three years' sales figures. Victor outperformed every one of its competitors in the aviation sector, with average sales growth in charter bookings of 142.93 percent.
Victor has taken on the world of private jet charter to make comparing, booking and managing a flight simpler and faster than ever before. Membership is free and there are no hidden costs or surcharges. We simply deliver at least three charter quotes within 60 minutes, so that our members can compare the best aircraft, operators and prices. Victor's unique combination of smart technology, transparency and exceptional customer service means that our 40,000-plus members, with access to 7,000 aircraft – via our network of 131 partner operators – are always connected and in control. Victor has achieved three-year average sales growth of 142.93% per annum, ranked number 15 in the 2015 Sunday Times Hiscox Tech Track 100, and in 2013 was honoured at the Walpole British Luxury Awards as the ‘Brand of Tomorrow' and won TTG's ‘Leading Edge' Award.
