PROFILE| AIR CHARTER SERVICE From a garage... Taking a look at Air Charter Service on it’s 25th Anniversary to a global presence 54 International | Autumn 2015
AIR CHARTER SERVICE| PROFILE ACS fi rst offi ce Aircraft charter specialist Air Charter Service celebrate their 25th anniversary this year. ACS Chairman Chris Leach and his wife Tina founded the company in the basement of their family home in South West London back in 1990. To provide a context, IBM had launched the IBM PC seven years earlier and Microsoft had just recently passed the $1.1 billion revenue mark. The Dassault Falcon 2000 would not see its fi rst fl ight till March 1993 and Bombardier wouldn’t start work on studies for the Global Express till 1991. Life works in strange ways sometimes. Business was tough in the early days and Chris and Tina Leach rented a room in their house to a student who turned out to be a manic plane spotter, who’d spend hours memorising the serial numbers of business aviation aircraft. That student was Justin Bowman, the current Group CEO of ACS. From those small beginnings, ACS has grown to the point where it now has 20 offi ces around the world and is opening more all the time. Chris Leach makes it clear that his ambition now is to see ACS grow to the point where within the next fi ve to ten years it can truthfully claim to be the world’s largest charter brokerage house across all three sectors.
