Victor has expanded its realtime business jet booking platform to the lucrative German-speaking market six months after its official launch in the UK. Expansion to other European and international markets - notably the USA and the Asia Pacific region - is also planned.

"The new German-language website meets the needs of the increasing number of members joining across Germany, Austria and Switzerland," said Victor. "Members have a choice of over 200 aircraft from 45 operators based in ten European countries."

The platform is designed by Victor founder and chief executive Clive Jackson as a "game-changing innovation" within the private aviation industry.

"For the first time, jet charterers are able to offer surplus seats on either their outbound flight or returning empty leg to other Victor members, opening up travel by private jet to a new market of individual seat buyers," Jackson said. "Victor's membership of 740 high-net-worth individuals is growing at an average of 50 a month, and around 87% of members have said they would be happy to sell seats on their chartered flights in addition to any empty legs."
