Germany’s ACM air charter has been awarded the Five Star Diamond Award by the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences. At the award ceremony, held in Munich this summer, the president of the Academy, Joseph Cinque, handed over the award to the two general managers of ACM, Thomas Minninger and Dr Andreas Schirmeisen.

The Academy was founded in 1989 and the Five Star Diamond Award is awarded once a year for outstanding achievements to hotels, restaurants, airlines and other companies in the travel industry.

ACM, described as ‘the best of

its class’, was given the award ‘for

its high safety standards and outstanding services’.

It is the first time that an executive business aviation company has received this prize.
