Villiers Jet Charter

Villiers is an independent private jet charter broker based in London. It was founded in 2013 and says it has more than 13 years in the market. Its aim is to give clients one simple way to reach the private aircraft market, which it calls fragmented.

Villiers works with a global network of certified operators. The company says it can quote from more than 10,000 certified aircraft. Its team is available 24/7 to arrange flights anywhere in the world. It says it has arranged thousands of flights for clients, from business executives to leisure travellers.

The booking process has four steps. First, the client shares travel dates, passenger count and the departure and destination points. Second, Villiers uses its network to return prices from certified carriers. Third, the client books, with flexible payment options that include Bitcoin. Fourth, the client flies, with advice from Villiers on aircraft, airports and paperwork.

Clients can see the provider and its terms before they commit to anything. They can charter a whole aircraft or share seats to cut costs. The online trip form takes extra notes, such as travelling with pets, extra luggage or wheelchair access.

The website works as a booking tool. Visitors enter a route, dates and passengers and receive an estimated time and price range. The estimates come from a pricing model trained on recent operator quotes. Villiers says they are a guide, and final quotes depend on aircraft availability and positioning. Estimates can be shown in pounds, euros or US dollars.

Villiers also lists empty leg flights and a platform it calls VilliersOS. Separate sign-in areas exist for affiliates and for operators. The company has a careers page.

The company says it combines human expertise with technology to make private jet charter simple.
