Private jet out of London Heathrow Sir? No problem... January, 2008 On the 16th January 2008 ACS’ Moscow office received an urgent request for a private jet to be positioned at London Heathrow airport the very next day to take two passengers to Moscow’s international Sheremetyevo airport in Russia. The businessmen were due to arrive in London on a flight from Africa but one of the passengers was unaware of the need for an entry visa into the UK to transit through the airport. ACS was able to obtain a permit to allow the passenger to transfer to the executive jet whilst the second passenger could travel through the immigration process and collect their luggage. The passengers requested a one hour window between their flight from Africa arriving and the private jet departing to Moscow; landing permits at London Heathrow are extremely hard to negotiate. LHR is one of the busiest airports in the world and landing slots for small private aircraft are few and far between. Sergey Vekhov, General Manager ACS Russia, said: “It is testament to the hard work of the ACS team in Moscow that landing rights at London Heathrow airport, the third busiest airport in the world were secured at such short notice! The aircraft departed exactly on time and the businessmen were delighted with the service they had received from ACS.”

Real estate VIP October, 2007 Air Charter Service promises to satisfy your charter needs, anytime, anywhere. This can often be at the last minute as was found by a VIP real estate mogul and his family when they were stranded in New York having missed their commercial flight. Booking onto another flight was not an option and the businessman knew that he would have to charter to get to his destination at the last moment - so he called ACS. New York passenger brokers Marc Hollander and Dan Rich were able to locate a G III for the businessman and his family to ensure that they arrive at their destination as soon as possible. ACS then went that extra mile for the client and Marc travelled to the airport to personally see that everything ran as smoothly as possible given the last minute nature of the charter. The satisfied customer said that he had chosen to use ACS because of their quality service and quick response time, especially with expediting the paperwork. He needed an aircraft arranged on very short notice and ACS was able to deliver for him. Added to that, the personal approach that the brokers took with their client demonstrates how far ACS is willing to go to ensure that the client receives the best possible service. Whatever your charter needs, no matter how last minute, ACS promises to deliver. Contact: Passenger Sales team at london@aircharter.co.uk |
