A little over a year after opening its doors for the first time, Air Charter Service's Houston operation has outgrown its office and has had to upgrade to a much larger premises, thanks to a "booming" cargo aircraft charter market around the US southern states.
Dustin Roades, director of ACS Houston, commented:"We have hired three new charter specialists this year already to cope with the demand and are on the lookout for more."
He said the cargo department, in particular, had grown to such a size that it was already one of the top performing of ACS's worldwide cargo departments. Roades commented:"The cargo aircraft charter market around the southern states is booming. We had a fairly large customer base when we moved here but we didn't expect the office to take off quite so well."
"The team has done really well and we have benefitted from new initiatives for our worldwide offices working together. The size of this new office means that we will be able to expand and grow here, for the next few years at least."
Formed in 1990 by chairman Chris Leach, ACS now employs more than 300 staff worldwide with 19 offices spanning five continents, offering private jet, commercial airliner and cargo aircraft charters, arranging more than 9,000 charters annually generating revenue in excess of US$450 million.
