ACC Aviation Delivers a Robust Q4

ACC Aviation, the global aviation services group, reported a strong fourth quarter, validating its decision to expand into new pillars of expertise in aviation finance and technical services. Overall, charter activity and ACMI/leasing were steady, while the US market was extremely strong, dominated by sports charters and corporate groups, where health fears continue to drive people into charter. 

ACC marked three years of US operations at the close of 2021.  US activity has grown to be the largest part of its business and at the turn of the year, a fourth US base was added in South Florida, a key aviation hub.  

ACC Aviation’s consulting business was able to build on the 51% growth achieved in 2020.  During Q4 the business was actively involved in aircraft transactions, working on pre-purchase aircraft lease inspections for banks and lessors. 

ACC Aviation offered a variety of charter solutions in Q4, responding to continued travel restrictions. The strongest activity was in sports and corporate travel.  ACC supported elite sports teams, plus several big corporations who struggled with restricted scheduled service availability, plus a few leisure charters.
