Air Charter Service Leasing (ACS Leasing) surpassed 30,000 flights in a year for the first time in 2025, averaging a flight every 17.5 minutes globally.
Breaking Records in 2025
In November, the company broke its own record for longest direct passenger charter twice in one week. The first with an Airbus A380 from Dallas to Sydney (8,578 miles) and then even further with a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner from Perth to Los Angeles covering 9,318 miles in almost 17 hours.
Scott Collier, CEO of ACS Leasing, states:
We’ve experienced huge growth this year, with a particularly busy summer season… But while the summer was strong, what really sets this year apart is our winter performance where our counter-cyclical activity has grown significantly.
