Charter broker Air Charter Service (ACS) last week opened an office in Milan, marking its expansion into Italy and 35th location globally as it expands its presence in Europe.&nbsp;The Milan office is part of a broader strategy to strengthen local relationships and enhance services.
“We have been looking to have an office here in Italy for a number of years and feel that now is the right time for this investment,” said ACS regional director for Europe Andy Summers. “We have been dealing with many Italian clients through our other European offices since the early days of ACS, but we want to now focus on our service to those customers and further cement our relationships with local airlines with an office in the country.”
The Milan office will be led by Leonardo D’Alessandro, who has been with the company since 2015. He initially worked at ACS’ London headquarters before moving to the Geneva office in 2018, where he primarily worked with Italian clients. The opening of an office in Italy had been part of the company’s long-term plans.
“I’m thrilled to be opening this office in Milan, it has been in the pipeline for a while now and it’s great to get the team together here and to get started,” said D’Alessandro. “The Italian economy is the eighth largest in the world, so the potential here is huge.”
