US Midwest fields latest ACS expansion
Private jet and cargo movements are on the up in the US Midwest. Air Charter Service is set to expand its services by recruiting to fill sales positions in its new Chicago office.
ACS is to exploit the gradual expansion of cargo and private jet markets in the Chicago region.

Capitalising on record figures for the company last year, global aircraft charter broker Air Charter Service plans to expand across the US Midwest with a recruitment drive set to start later this year.

Since opening in Chicago, the company has gone from strength to strength in terms of sales in the region. Its new office opened on 25 March on North State Street and the Air Charter Service Chicago team are greatly excited by the move.

Chicago office CEO Caitlin Uhlmann says: “When we started, we were just a small team in a small office in the Loop. We outgrew the last office far quicker than we expected, with specialists working across the private jet and cargo divisions. I am incredibly proud of each person in the office and how far we have come. I can’t wait to increase our team further with this expansion; we are looking to recruit experienced local salespeople now that we have six times the space of the previous office.

“O’Hare airport is currently hugely expanding its cargo storage and shipping capability and is already the fifth biggest aviation shipper in the US, so the cargo business in the region is only likely to grow further. We believe that the potential for the private jet market here is huge too; Chicago has always been a major hub for aviation and has a number of small executive airports, along with O'Hare International airport, which is the sixth busiest passenger airport in the world.”
