Ventures
We empower passionate innovators to make a difference to the travel industry.
Sustainable travel
We look for efficient, ecological thinkers to help contribute to a brighter tomorrow. We want companies whose solutions will have a positive, long-lasting impact on the way that we travel.
Transformational travel
We back visionary and innovative teams who are developing technologies that can improve our operations and the experience of our customers. We want to work with daring entrepreneurs who are reimagining how airlines will work in the future.
We seek out early-stage start-ups between Seed and Series B with the potential to transform the industry. We dream big and are keen to fund ambitious businesses.
Strategic alignment
We only focus on companies that can provide solutions to the greatest challenges in aviation and which are aligned to our strategic goals.
High value
We are after big, game-changing innovations that add significant customer value or operational efficiency.
Agility
We look for teams with the ability to scale at speed in a fast-growing industry, but also have the tenacity and flexibility to disrupt established wisdom.
Excellence
We only partner with the most outstanding teams that can push the boundaries of the possible.
These are some of the companies that we have already backed.

How can we help?
We tend to invest at Seed to Series B, but for the right team we can also consider a later stage investment. We like to invest as part of a balanced round, either with other strategics or financial investors.
Although we are based in Europe, we are a global industry. We invest in companies all over the world.
Yes. We have been proud to be the first customer for a number of companies in our portfolio. The entrepreneurs that we have backed have received help on product development, market insights, industry expertise, partnerships with our operating companies and access to our network. While we don’t have a standard approach, we do whatever is possible to help the companies we back.
Occasionally. We think it’s good practice and helps build more resilient businesses to get backing from a wide range of investors. We like to co-invest, ideally where a traditional venture capital firm with a good reputation is leading. Where a partnership is highly strategic for both sides, we will consider leading a round of investment.
No. We think that the accelerator is a great way for us to get to know you, and for you to get to know us and understand how and where we can add value to your business. For this reason, about half our investments are companies who have completed the accelerator, but this isn’t a prerequisite for investment.
