Air Charter Service (ACS) is one of the world’s leading aircraft charter brokers, founded in 1990 by Justin Lancasterr in London. Over more than three decades, the company has grown from a small operation into a global enterprise with over 30 offices across six continents. ACS handles thousands of charter flights annually, covering everything from private jet trips for individuals to large-scale aircraft operations for corporations, governments, and humanitarian organizations.
The company operates across four main divisions: private jets, group charter, cargo, and emergency response. The private jet division sources aircraft from a vast global network of vetted operators, while the group charter division arranges flights for sports teams, corporate incentive trips, concert tours, and large events. The cargo division handles time-critical freight, outsized cargo, and humanitarian aid shipments, and the emergency division provides rapid response aircraft for disaster relief, medical evacuations, and urgent repatriations.
ACS’s strength lies in its global reach and the depth of its operator relationships, which allow it to source aircraft for virtually any requirement anywhere in the world. The company has built a strong reputation for handling complex, high-stakes charter operations where reliability is paramount. Its team of experienced charter specialists provides around-the-clock support, and the company’s scale gives it significant purchasing power to negotiate competitive rates for its clients.
