ConnectJets Launches ConnectSkies

ConnectJets is marking its 10th anniversary this summer with the launch of a new division, ConnectSkies, the business aviation charter industry’s first independent ‘sustainable’ aircraft sales, marketing and logistics platform.

With sustainability at the forefront of the industry and the world, especially among millennials, ConnectSkies will explore a range of options in all categories of air travel for environmentally-conscious clients who need to make their private aircraft bookings more compliant with their corporate responsibility.

Kicking off ConnectSkies is the business’s newly ratified agreement with VRCO, the Midlands UK-designer of NeoXCraft, a hyper luxury multi-modal electric craft.

The XP2 - two-seater, emphasises safety but with significant attention given to a spacious interior and high performance. The NeoXCraft XP2 is an all new electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, designed to transform urban and rural mobility and take the stress off congested motorways, flying for up to 60 minutes.  The NeoXCraft, with electric motors in shrouded propellers, offers computer supported flight, it can also launch and land from water. 

The introduction of e-VTOL’s, complementing current sustainable business aviation turboprop aircraft such as the Piaggio Avanti EVO and other electric aircraft will empower the private jet traveller to make informed decisions.

As the sales agent and ambassador for the Piaggio Avanti and successor new-generation EVO since 2014, ConnectJets understands the eco credentials and importance of sustainability within the private aviation sector and to support client CSR.

The Avanti EVO was one of a dozen business aircraft that flew in to EBACE Geneva on alternative blended fuel. The twin turboprop EVO delivers a 40% reduction in fuel burn compared with a jet within the same light-class category, saving valuable resources and finances for owners and operators.
