Air Charter Service (ACS) announced that the company’s Indian offices had an exceptional success in the first half of the year, with strong growth across all divisions.
Ashish Wastrad, CEO, Air Charter Service India, commented: “Our Mumbai and New Delhi offices have had an amazing first six months of the year – we saw increases in passenger and cargo volumes resulting in a 42% increase in income year-on-year.
“Growth in our passenger divisions has been driven by lots of flights for sporting events, weddings, movie stars and singers. We have also seen amazing growth in our cargo division, driven by pro-industry government initiatives, and uncertainties around e-commerce and maritime trade.
“A proud moment for the team and I came early last month, when we chartered a B777 to fly the victorious Indian cricket team home from Barbados after winning the T20 World Cup. Hurricane Beryl had scuppered their original travel plans, so they approached us, and we had to act quickly. To arrange everything for them, after their arrival in Delhi, the team went to meet our Prime Minister to congratulate him. After that, we arranged an A321 flight to take them to Mumbai – where the plane received a cannon salute Water – to hold a victory parade.
“Due to the exceptional numbers so far this year, we have had to expand our teams, both here in Mumbai and also in our New Delhi office, in order to meet the demand. We look forward to expanding the teams further and continuing to grow in the second half of the year.”
