The Air Charter Association (ACA) has seen a near doubling of its membership since it rebranded from the Baltic Air Charter Association during its 70th anniversary in 2019. This steady growth since the global pandemic is demonstrating the key role that charter is playing in Europe, according to ACA CEO Glenn Hogben.

Founded as the Airbrokers’ Association in 1949 by members of the Baltic Mercantile and Shipping Exchange, the organization is picking up members at a rate of between six and seven a month and is poised to reach 500 this year.
