ACS kits out Swiss office to accommodate further growth
When it opened in 2015, Air Charter Service Switzerland booked 27 flights. Last year it has a record year and booked more than 500. To account of the increase in demand, it is growing its Geneva footprint.
The new office has more than double the floor space of ACS Switzerland's previous premises.

Air Charter Service has made further investment in growing its Swiss operations and has more than tripled its office space in preparation. This will facilitate the future growth of the company in Switzerland after a strong year.

In year one the office booked 27 flights, generating a turnover of GBP450,000. Despite the pandemic in 2020, ACS Geneva had its record year, booking over 500 flights and recording a turnover of more than CHF36 million. 

ACS Switzerland CEO Alvaro Recas Pardo says: “This is an exciting time for us; we have added several new faces to our team and celebrated our fifth anniversary last year. We initially opened the office in 2015 with only two desks; now the new office can accommodate up to 23 team members. We will continue expanding the team in 2021, which is another reason for the move to this bigger office. The project to move here has taken almost a year to complete in order for it to be as seamless as possible. The new office is more than double the floor space of our previous premises.

“Our business in Switzerland has grown every year since it opened, and this new office space allows us to continue that trend for the foreseeable future.”
