Velaris AviationVerified

Velaris Aviation is an independent private jet and helicopter charter broker based in London. It arranges flights worldwide, from short hops within Europe to long range trips to the Middle East, the United States and the Caribbean.

The company is not tied to one fleet. It has access to every aircraft on the charter market, from turboprops to ultra long range jets, and only puts forward operators it has vetted. Founder Charlie Spencer says his own family flies privately, so every aircraft he quotes is one he would put them on.

Velaris keeps the process simple. You send a brief by phone, WhatsApp or email with where, when and who is travelling. Velaris comes back with a short list of aircraft and operators, each with a clear all-in price. Once you confirm, the team handles catering, ground transport and timings, and stays on hand until you land.

Helicopter charter covers race days, country estates and the last mile after a jet lands. Velaris has access to a wide range of helicopters, including a fleet that is zero-rated for VAT.

Clients include corporate travellers on roadshows and site visits, private clients and families, family offices, professional athletes and concierge companies. The business was built on referrals and long relationships rather than volume, so each client deals with one person from the first call to touchdown.

Popular routes from London include Nice, Geneva, Ibiza, Mykonos, Courchevel, Monaco, Dubai, New York and Barbados. Velaris Aviation is the trading name of Velaris Holdings Ltd, registered in England and Wales.
