Leading aircraft charter specialist Air Charter Service has opened an office in Cologne, which is the company’s fourth location in Germany. The new base complements existing operations in Frankfurt and Munich, as well as ACS Time Critical’s headquarters, which are also located in Frankfurt.

CEO Caroline Werf comments: “Cologne is a key hub for the aircraft industry in Germany. Not only are there a great deal of professionals in charter aviation in the city and the surrounding area, but both the headquarters for the German Aerospace Center (DLR), and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) are based here. ACS has always had a strong partnership with Cologne Airport and, with this new office, we are looking forward to even closer cooperation in the future.”

The office will be led by Melanie Hentschel, who adds: “Together with Caroline we’re already looking to grow the team over the coming months, and make Cologne another successful German ACS office.”
