Aircraft charter specialist Air Charter Service has expanded its presence in Asia with the opening of a new office in Shanghai.

“Shanghai was a natural choice for our second office in mainland China,” said Stephen Fernandez, regional director of Asia Pacific at ACS. “The city is the largest in the country, as well as the richest, and is a major business hub for many industries. It houses China’s main stock exchange and has the world’s largest port, so we believe that there is a large market for our passenger and cargo aircraft charter services here. We have been doing business with clients from Shanghai and the surrounding region for many years and are looking forward to building closer relationships with them, as well as welcoming new customers on board.”

Amos Chan will be heading up the operation. He joined ACS five years ago and previously worked for Hong Kong Air Cargo.

“I am confident that Amos is the right man for the job and I’m looking forward to the progression of the new office under his leadership,” said Fernanadez.
