ACE20 set to be air charter expo of the year
Air Charter Expo is a dedicated conference and exhibition of top-level meetings, the latest charter aircraft, a host of exhibitors and excellent networking opportunities. It is a must-attend for all in the air charter industry.
Nick Weston anticipates the best ACE yet.

ACE20 (Air Charter Expo) is set to be the air charter exhibition of 2020, taking place on 15 September at London Biggin Hill airport. This one-day event delivers a superb combination of aircraft on static display and booth exhibits, alongside a dedicated conference and training programme.

ACE is jointly organised and hosted by The Air Charter Association, Business Air News and London Biggin Hill airport and, for 2020, is due to be even bigger and better than previous years.

Broker training will once again feature in the conference suite and gives attendees a taster of the association's bespoke ACA Broker Qualification. Following the demand for training sessions at ACE in 2019, the conference suite is undergoing a redesign to provide a larger seating area. The event will again be streamed live by webcast in order for those people unable to attend in person to log in and view the presentations.

The static aircraft display at ACE has been growing year on year, and 2020 will be no exception. London Biggin Hill airport has capacity to increase the static display and welcome more aircraft to the exhibition. In previous years ACE has seen the largest number of business aircraft assembled for a one day business aviation event in the UK.

Other key developments for ACE20 include the introduction of digital registration, to expedite the check-in process, as well as delivery of the most sustainable ACE to date. Chairman of The Air Charter Association Nick Weston says: “ACE has been an on-going success that has seen significant growth during the last three years. We at The Air Charter Association are proud to be a part of it and look forward to working closely with Business Air News and London Biggin Hill airport to ensure that ACE20 is the best, biggest and most sustainable event so far.”
