ACASS has grown its managed fleet with a Praetor 500, Citation X, Gulfstream G700 and Global XRS. The Praetor and Citation are managed under its Canadian AOC and are available for charter, with the former based in Montreal and the latter in Halifax. The G700 has a San Marino registration and will be based in Dubai. The XRS is privately registered in Canada and will split its time between London and New York.

All four aircraft were referred by existing clients. CEO Andre Khury says, “Growing our fleet of managed aircraft is one of our top priorities. So adding these aircraft is obviously noteworthy. Importantly, these additions all came by way of client referrals, which is incredibly gratifying and a clear result of our commitment to service that always goes above and beyond.”

The global ACASS fleet now comprises 23 aircraft under Canadian, Irish and San Marino AOCs, supported by customised programmes focused on ownership value and regulatory compliance.
