ACS Hong Kong provides complete solution into Iraq

Aug. 11, 2010 - PRLog -- The client needed to move 42 tonnes of oil well equipment, as well as some senior executives, from Tianjin, China to the oil field just outside of Basra, Iraq. ACS received the call and were able to help on both counts, providing a brand new Embraer Legacy 600 for the passengers and an Ilyushin 76 for the heavy cargo.

Gavin Copus, CEO of ACS Asia Pacific, commented: "This is a great example of the benefits ACS has by offering both passenger and cargo charters. The client made one phone call and we provided both solutions. They needed to get themselves and the equipment out to Iraq urgently, and my team found them the perfect aircraft."

Air Charter Service's Hong Kong operation is one of the company's fastest growing offices, having arranged as many charters in the first six months of 2010 as were done in the whole of 2009. Copus added: "Our service levels have seen us grow tremendously - even throughout the poor global economic situation. Last year we had our record year, and this year is even busier."

Air Charter Service offers private jet charters, commercial airliner charters and cargo charters, and now has a total of eleven offices worldwide - with plans to open more later this year. The company operated over 4,000 charters in 2009, resulting in a turnover of more than US$250 million.
