Air Charter Service is celebrating a good year for its services in India, saying it has seen increases in both passenger and cargo numbers driving up income by 42% year over year.
“The growth in our passenger divisions has been fuelled by a lot of flights for sports events, weddings, movie stars, and singers. We have also seen incredible growth in our cargo division, driven by pro-industry government initiatives, e-commerce, and maritime trade uncertainties,” said Air Charter Service India CEO Ashish Wastrad.
“A proud moment for the team and I came at the beginning of last month, when we chartered a B777 to fly the victorious Indian cricket team home from Barbados after winning the T20 World Cup. Hurricane Beryl had scuppered their original travel plans, so they approached us, and we had to work swiftly to arrange everything for them,” he added.
Formed in 1990, Air Charter Service is a global aircraft charter broker with 35 offices worldwide.
