Air Charter Expo showcases best in industry
With record numbers expected on 12 September, this year's show will be bigger and better than ever. ACE is the only trade event dedicated to air charter - business, commercial and cargo.
ACE is firmly established at London Biggin Hill as the key event for the air charter community to network and attend superb educational sessions.

Co-organised by The Air Charter Association (The ACA) and Business Air News, this year's Air Charter Expo (ACE'23) is expecting to see a record number of exhibitors and aircraft on static display.

The leading air charter industry event, taking place on Tuesday, 12 September at London Biggin Hill airport, in the UK, will be the biggest yet with more than 70 exhibitors already confirmed, alongside an exciting selection of aircraft. Many of the world's leading air charter companies have booked to exhibit at ACE'23, in both the air cargo and passenger charter sectors.

Kevin Ducksbury, chairman of The ACA, says: “Air Charter Expo is unique with its one day format and, once again, the conference and exhibition takes place at London Biggin Hill airport. Last year's event was an enormous success, and we are excited to build on that momentum to make ACE'23 a truly memorable event for exhibitors and visitors alike. Booths are almost sold out already, and the conference programme will again set the agenda for addressing important issues in our industry.”

The programme will feature key industry topics, from the state of the industry and sustainability to challenges in the air cargo and helicopter charter sectors. With a superb static display, ACE'23 will showcase a wide variety of charter aircraft, from the AW139 helicopter to the Gulfstream 650ER long range jet, alongside a selection of turboprops and airliners.

David Winstanley, CEO, London Biggin Hill airport, says: “ACE is firmly established at London Biggin Hill as the key event for the air charter community to network and attend superb educational sessions. This year's event will enable aircraft manufacturers to share all of their latest news, and there will also be an impressive range of aircraft on display.”

Mark Ranger, show sales manager, Business Air News adds: “ACE is the only trade event dedicated to air charter - business, commercial and cargo, and this year, we are welcoming more operators with aircraft than ever before. I look forward to welcoming colleagues to London Biggin Hill airport in September.”
