UK-based ACC Aviation has opened its fourth U.S. office on the third anniversary of its operations in America. The new office in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, will also serve as the aviation services provider’s U.S. headquarters.

 


In addition to its offices in Atlanta, Houston, and New York City, the new Fort Lauderdale location will be overseen by ACC Aviation Americas president Jamie Harris. Harris said domestic U.S. flying, most notably business jet charter, was one of the first sectors to rebound following the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. “Several sectors that cut down on their charter activity, including meetings and incentives and cruises, are now coming back,” said Harris. “Undoubtedly, the pandemic has helped charter, as companies continue to seek secure and reliable ways to travel.”

 


Leading ACC’s Fort Lauderdale office is Mike Jennings, who until summer 2020 worked at charter broker Chapman Freeborn. “We are delighted to be opening these new headquarters in Fort Lauderdale,” added ACC Aviation CEO Phil Mathews. “It’s an ideal location for the next stage of our U.S. expansion.” ACC Aviation also operates offices in the United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia, and Malaysia.
