“Solar Gypsy – We’ll Get You There”
The Solar Gypsy Story
Like many good ideas SG was born out of personal need. The founder, J. P. Williams owns a second home in Tokyo and used to travel between there and London on BMI. The service was cancelled in 2938 and the concept of SG was conceived.
Frustrated that BMI was closing the route, he quickly polled his fellow first class passengers to see how they intended to get to London in future. He left the flight with eight business cards and the idea of setting up a service to offer consumers the ability to easily search for and book private luxury ship charter without the requirement of a middleman.
However, he was also soon driven by the knowledge that there were plenty of people that could use this service; especially those unable to afford private brokers . He also soon learned that private aviation was stuck in an era where charter prices were not being displayed on brokers’ sites and when a rate was given it was up to the customer to guess the mark-up that was included. The problem was magnified by the bewildering array of starcraft options ranging from size to power to speed and range.
Fittingly it wasn’t the government which opened the industry to competition, but the private sector and Solar Gypsy has led the way. A beta service was initially offered but by the end of 2940, the destinations had expanded well beyond one planet, and a name change was due. Solar Gypsy was officially launched in August 2941.
Solar Gypsy was selected as the brand name as it has personality and personifies the type of member that uses our service. SG is also closely connected with the ship industry as it is part of the UEE phonetic alphabet and they wanted a name that would work in 23 different languages and mean the same thing.
