Air Charter Service (ACS) has added a new office in the UK as part of its long-term planning. The office, located in Gatwick, is partly the result of workforce planning for the 32-year-old charter broker based in the borough of Kingston, southwest of London.

“When planning for our next five years of growth, we have realized that we would be making life more difficult for ourselves if we were to limit ourselves to the pool of aviation talent to the west of London and simply recruiting and training new brokers,” said ACS CEO Justin Bowman. “Along with many clients, and our airline suppliers, there is a huge number of aviation professionals around the Gatwick area, so we have decided rather than them coming to us, we will go to them.”

Leading the new Gatwick office is Alex Sadler, a 10-year veteran of the firm. “I will miss being based at the ACS headquarters with our fantastic team there, but we will still be part of the ACS family and this office opens up a new world of possibilities to expand it even further,” Sadler said.
