Birthday Celebrations

‘No expense spared’ – this was the brief from one client recently who celebrated his birthday by jetting off to Monaco and spending a week on the beautiful Christina O yacht with a group of friends. A Sales Executive at ACS, organised the flights from Heathrow to Nice, and Ibiza to Heathrow, for the group of 40, who enjoyed the comfortable Embraer 145 aircraft, a dedicated check-in desk at Heathrow, exclusive use of the VIP Holideck lounge and superb on-board first class catering.

Air Charter Service is pleased to be associated with Principality Yacht Club in Monaco and can offer complete flight/yacht packages to suit your needs. Why not celebrate that special occasion with a trip of a lifetime?

Please contact ACS to discuss your VIP requirements.

Lottery Jet Setters

In January, ACS were pleased to fly Lottery Jet Set winner Toby Chambers to the glamorous resort of St Moritz.

Producers of the Lottery Jet Set quiz on BBC1 chose the luxurious Citation Bravo for the flight to Samedan in Switzerland and lucky quiz winner Toby took his friend Robert Cramse along for the ride.

Educational group trip

As part of an educational trip, a group of Orthodox Jews recently spent a day visiting the site of the Auschwitz Concentration camp in Poland. The 140-strong group chartered an A320 and enjoyed a dedicated check in area at Stansted before the two-hour flight to Krakow.

The Sales Executive at ACS who organised the trip and flew with the group said, ‘the mood was naturally sombre but everyone really appreciated the attention to detail and the excellent customer service we offered, including Kosher meals. We hope to do more charters with them in the near future.’

Please contact ACS for more information on group travel.

Keeping Airlines flying high

Austrian Airlines operations could have ground to a halt recently when some of their pilots staged a lightning strike in a dispute over pay structure changes. Luckily for Austrian Airlines, Gavin Copus, Sales Manager at ACS, was able to source a number of 100-seater Fokker 100s and 300-seater Airbus A330s for the period of the dispute. This allowed Austrian to maintain their Europe, Japan and US routes and to keep their customers happy!

ACS to the rescue

ACS came to rescue on Boxing Day when, tragically, an earthquake hit the ancient city of Bam.

After receiving a call at 8.30am on Boxing Day morning, Gavin Copus, was airborne within thirteen hours, heading for Kerman in South Iran, 60km from the epicentre. On board the Boeing 757 were 70 rescue team members, four dogs and seven tons of equipment.

The relief effort was in conjunction with the Government's Department for International Development (DFID) and was our first operation with DFID since being awarded a contract last November.
