ACI’s sales team, based in Dubai, received an urgent request to source an aircraft for dignitaries and guests of the embassy. The route covered three different destinations within the Middle East and Northern Africa Region. The clientele were high profile and the timeline was urgent.
The ACI team was up to the challenge and started work immediately on sourcing the correct aircraft with the range and seating capacity for the charter. With the routes and preferred aircraft type changing often, as per the clients’ request, the team’s focus was continuously shifted. The goal however was never altered and always revolved around meeting the needs and expectations of the embassy, no matter how complicated the requirements.
A short two hours and many fact finding phone calls later, the ACI team had effectively used the consultative approach to finding a solution and the executive charter flight had been finalized in record time. Speed and accuracy were the key and not only was correct aircraft sourced, but all the other aspects of the flight were efficiently and diligently handled by the twenty four hour on call team, including all aspects of sourcing the aircraft, price negotiations, arranging contract sign off on behalf of both the client and the operator, payment and operational assistance.
Keeping up to its reputation as a complete solution provider, ACI efficiently and meticulously, ensured smooth operation of this charter, from start to finish.
Upon the completion of this flight, Mr. Yogesh Upadhyay, Commercial Sales Manager said; “It was a demanding task arranging everything with such a short timeline. The most challenging of these was being able to meet the clients’ requirement with regards to route and aircraft type; We pride ourselves on being more consultative, more accurate and faster than anyone else, all of which are crucial in today’s dynamic and ever changing charters market. We enjoy these types of enquiries and thrive on delivering the impossible”
