Air Charter Service names MD
Air Charter Service Plc has appointed Tony Bauckham as managing director, based in the group’s head office in Kingston-Upon-Thames.
He joins from Volga-Dnepr UK Limited where he held the same position.
Air Charter Service owner and founder, Chris Leach, will remain as chairman of the Board and will continue to guide the marketing strategy and business development of the group.
Leach said: “With a strengthened management team now in place, and a group of very capable personnel throughout the ACS group, the company is ideally set for the next phase of our carefully planned expansion.”
He said the company’s global revenue has doubled within the last 12 months.
Air Charter Service recently established new facilities for its Dubai branch in the DAFZA due to growth in its Middle East business.
