Victor enhances 'on demand' charter offering with new ARINCDirect FOS integration

Global private jet charter pioneer Victor has successfully completed its bespoke integration with Rockwell Collins' industry-respected flight management system (FMS), ARINCDirect Flight Operations System (FOS). The move further enhances Victor's already considerable technology-driven ability to provide quick, clear and consistent quotes for customers, and bolsters its position as frontrunner where pure 'on demand' jet charter is concerned.

Victor's enhanced FMS integration follows its joining of Rockwell Collins' Vendor Alliance for Charter Management program, a program allowing charter operators who use ARINCDirect FOS to make the marketplace aware of empty, transient and home base aircraft availability. Victor has now updated and tailored its back-end technology to communicate fully with the FOS system.

With full, tailored FOS integration comes a number of deeper benefits. Victor and ARINCDirect FOS-aligned operators around the world can request and return quotes seamlessly via the platform, without the need for time-consuming phone calls and re-keying of data, emails and administration. The platform also ensures Victor has real-time access to aircraft availability (including empty legs) and greater transparency of pricing, complementing its own renowned, long-standing commitment to accessible charter. In turn Victor members get to enjoy an even more efficient and flexible level of sky-high service.

Mike Ryan, head of supply and co-founder, Victor, says: “Real integration with the ARINCDirect FOS system reinforces Victor's commitment to tech innovation and offering customers the most advanced and accessible jet charter service in the world. We're excited about giving ARINCDirect FOS-aligned operators even more efficient and effective access to customers via our advanced platform, all to make the charter booking process quicker and easier. Looking ahead we're equally excited about providing an ever wider number of operators with clear access to Victor, whatever systems or set-ups they use. We want to work towards the types of integrations that can provide real-time quotes and pricing for customers, and an amazing new benchmark in terms of flying privately 'on demand'. We believe that our unique combination of hi-tech and hi-touch is really making a difference in the private jet charter space.”

Victor's adoption of ARINCDirect FOS follows its integration with other widely supported FMS solutions such as Avinode, SchedAero and BoldIQ, and direct integration with a raft of established global charter operators, all of which support the company's mission to make private jet charter more transparent, consistent and effective for both operators and high-end customers.
