Air Charter Service generated $845 million in revenue in the first half of 2026, up 38% from a year earlier. The UK-based charter broker’s growth was broad-based across private jets, group charter and cargo, with cargo missions delivering the strongest year-on-year increase.
The result points to sustained demand in charter brokerage during the opening half of the year, particularly in freight-related flying. ACS also attributed the rise to regional expansion, a shift towards higher-value contracts and activity linked to major global events. The company’s performance adds to signs of resilience in the wider charter market, where demand held firm across both passenger and cargo segments.
Cargo remained the standout contributor, outpacing the other divisions and underlining the strength of time-sensitive freight demand. ACS operates globally and serves business aviation and cargo customers through its charter brokerage network.
