                                                     HISTORY
                                                     ACS was first founded by Chris Leach in 1990, an aviation expert, who has
         CONTENTS                                    experienced every aspect of the business first hand, from coordinating
                                                     passenger flights across Europe in the 1970s, to transporting personnel
                                                     and aid in and out of Sudan during the 1980s. It was this knowledge that

     4   Reasons to charter with ACS                 United Nations.

     6   Heavy & outsize cargo                       When ACS first opened, the charter market had been deemed saturated,
                                                     with a small number of large established companies controlling the market
     8   Hazardous goods                             along with a handful of smaller brokerages. Many thought that there was
    10   Urgent ‘Go Now’ charters                    not enough room for a new big player; however ACS’s commitment to
                                                     personal service proved popular, in what had been described, by some, as
    12   Isolated locations & hostile environments   a complacent market.

    14   Humanitarian aid                            In the years that followed ACS grew organically. With continual re-investment,
    18   AOG Services                                ACS was able to open regional offices in strategically placed locations,
                                                     across the globe. ACS now employs over 200 staff worldwide, who speak
