Charter broker Air Charter Service has opened an office in Perth, marking the aircraft charter specialist’s third operation in Australia.
“Following the outstanding success of our offices in Sydney and Brisbane, we have been looking to add a Western office for some time,” explained Justin Bowman, CEO of the private jet and air cargo charter company. He added: “Australia is an important market for us, and we are aiming to capitalize on Perth’s role as the country’s resource and energy capital, and the city’s strong overall economy.”
Stephen Fernandez has been appointed head of the new office, drawing upon his almost two decades of experience with the company. Describing Australia as a “strong market for ACS,” he highlighted that Air Charter Services’ Sydney and Brisbane facilities have been “performing very well and enjoying a 24% growth in revenue this year.”
During a half-year sales update coinciding with the opening of the office, Air Charter Service chairman and founder Chris Leach added that he was “particularly happy with [the charter performance of] private jets, which saw a 20% increase in revenue” for the first half of the year. Overall, group revenue has grown by 14%—more than the company’s target of 10%— something the Perth office will help support.
