UK consultancy ACC Aviation has been nominated as Europe's Leading Private Jet Charter Company 2025 by the World Travel Awards (WTA), a globally recognised benchmark for excellence in travel and tourism.

The nomination follows a landmark year for ACC's private jet charter division, which recorded a 52 per cent year-on-year increase in executive travel bookings throughout 2024. This surge underscores a growing demand for luxury, lifestyle-driven aviation solutions and reaffirms ACC's position at the forefront of tailored air travel for private travel clients, corporations and government bodies.

Founded in 1993, the World Travel Awards celebrate the very best across all sectors of the travel industry. ACC's nomination places it among the most elite private aviation providers in Europe, recognised for operational excellence, unwavering discretion and highly personalised service, including helping clients meet ESG goals through its carbon offsetting programme and tailored advice on reducing private travel-related carbon dioxide, with a bespoke approach to each client's needs.

“Every charter we arrange is meticulously crafted around our clients' needs,” says Charlie Wilcox, charter director at ACC Aviation. “This nomination is a reflection of the trust and privacy our clients value and the high standards our team consistently delivers.”

Throughout 2024, ACC Aviation continued to expand its UK air charter division to meet rising demand, while delivering a wide range of standout charter experiences. These included luxury ski trips with custom catering and pet-friendly configurations, as well as high-level executive travel with seamless ground coordination.

Ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympics, ACC orchestrated a complex charter operation for the US national team, providing 24/7 support, real-time progress updates every 15 minutes and precise handling of athletic equipment upon arrival, demonstrating the company's capacity to deliver under pressure.

“Being nominated for Europe's Leading Private Jet Charter is a strong endorsement of the direction we're heading,” comments Philip Mathews, CEO of ACC Aviation. “It's a reflection of the trust our clients and partners place in us and the dedication of a team that consistently delivers under pressure. We've built our reputation on reliability, discretion and tailored service, and this recognition highlights the impact of that approach across the industry.”

As public voting is now open, ACC Aviation invites clients, partners and industry stakeholders to support its nomination by casting their vote before the August 2025 deadline.
