UK-headquartered global aviation services group ACC Aviation has appointed Hassan Chamas to head its charter offering throughout the Middle East region.

Chamas previously held senior positions at prominent operators and aviation companies across the US, Europe and the Middle East and brings a wealth of experience to the business. Joining ACC's consulting and leasing departments already established in the region, he will be working closely with ACC's charter departments in Europe and the US to grow the company's client and supplier footprint across the Middle East.

Chamas says: "I am delighted to join the highly respected team at ACC Aviation and to begin a new chapter in my career. Thanks to the unparalleled knowledge and skill set of ACC's global teams, I am confident that we can further develop the charter business here in Dubai and in the wider region."

Based in ACC's Dubai office located in the Dubai Airport Freezone (DAFZA), Chamas' immediate focus will be on bolstering the company's offering for existing clients before laying plans for regional development and future growth.

ACC air charter director Richard Smith adds: "ACC Aviation's global charter business has grown rapidly in the last few years. With Hassan Chamas joining the team, we will further strengthen our aviation networks and breadth of experience. Our growing client base relies on a great understanding of how to execute charters safely and seamlessly while delivering fantastic customer service. We are excited to bring Hassan into the team and to help him build on the recent success we have seen."
