Air Charter Service announces the quarter numbers and the result has recorded its busiest ever quarter for its cargo division, with 1,445 cargo charters in the period August to October, 2021. This, combined with its other divisions, resulted in the highest ever revenue for the company in one quarter – a total of £321.1 million (US$430 million).
Dan Morgan-Evans, Group Cargo Director at ACS, commented, “Over the past three months we have had the busiest period in our history. On average the cargo division had one charter departing every 90 minutes over the course of the month. Manufacturers and retailers who have historically relied on shipping to move the bulk of their orders are now considering charters as the only solution to hit impending deadlines and, in particular, Christmas. The bulk of air cargo is traditionally carried in the belly of scheduled passenger airliners, but that network will not be up to its full capacity for some time yet, and now is the time to turn to charter.
“We also had some large humanitarian projects in the period, flying in shelter kits from the UK government and aid from other nations to Haiti following the devastating earthquake in the country. We arranged transportation of several hundred tons of relief goods, including medical kits and food supplies to Afghanistan following the troubles in the country in July and August. Our group charter division also helped to evacuate almost 25,000 people out of the region in that same period.
