Leading aircraft charter provider, Air Charter Service, has announced the opening of its seventh European operation, in Geneva.

Andy Christie, the company’s Director of private jets, commented: “We recognised the necessity for an office in Switzerland a few years ago and felt that now was the right time to make the move, having established an already strong Swiss client base through our French and German operations.

“We chose Geneva as it is an important hub for private aviation and a popular destination for many of our clients – we will benefit from having people on the ground here. A lot of our current clients are based here too and we are now not only closer to them, but we are also able to reach more new potential customers that we couldn’t before. Having a locally registered company and bank accounts will hopefully help us to win more clients that prefer a local service, as we have done with many of our other offices.

“We have brought in experienced staff, who have been working out of our London, Paris and Frankfurt offices over the past six months, in the run up to opening the doors just last week.” [11th May 2015]

The Swiss office is ACS’s 19th global office, with two more planned in the coming nine months.
