The Air Charter Association (ACA) is soliciting nominations for its annual awards program. ACA will host a gala event on November 17 at the Hilton Metropole in Brighton to honor recipients of The Air Charter Excellence Awards. The event typically gathers more than 400 guests.
ACA's awards program spans nine categories, including two new honors—Helicopter Charter Operator of the Year and Charter Broker of the Year. Other categories are: Executive Passenger Charter Operator of the Year, Commercial Passenger Charter Operator of the Year, Cargo Charter Operator of the Year, Handling Agent/FBO of the Year, Aircraft Manufacturer of the Year, NextGen Group’s Young Person of the Year, and the Sir Michael Marshall Award for Sustainability in Aviation.
Nominations will be accepted through July 29 and can be made by any person or organization, regardless of ACA membership. Entries will be shortlisted and then ACA members with a panel of independent industry experts will vote for the finalists in each category.
“The Air Charter Excellence Awards are an ideal opportunity to recognize and reward the best in our industry,” said ACA chairman Kevin Ducksbury.
