Global charter broker Air Charter Service (ACS) has expanded its headquarters in the U.S. as it anticipates additional growth in its Americas operations. “Last year ACS Americas arranged just shy of 6,000 charter contracts across the nine offices and saw revenue of more than $250 million,” ACS Americas president Richard Thompson said. “This expansion was essential as our headquarters supports the ever-growing network of offices across the region; three of the nine have opened in the past two years and we have more planned in the near future.”

Nearly a year ago UK-based ACS began planning for a new U.S. headquarters office that would more than double the original 9,000-sq-ft space it opened in New York City in 2004. At 20,000 sq ft, the new office space easily accommodates its 50 employees and will “allow us to grow and expand our sales, operations, HR, accounts, legal, and customer experience teams,” Thompson added.
