Air Charter Service has promoted the experienced Simo Nkosi to private jets director of its African operation.

Lyndee du Toit, CEO of ACS Africa, says: “Simo joined our Johannesburg office almost 10 years ago and in that time has shown great leadership skills as a manager and is well-respected for his knowledge in the region. As our private jets team in Africa continues to grow, Simo’s experience greatly benefits our newer charter consultants.

“In this newly formed role he will oversee the further growth of our private jets business in Africa, implementing a strategy to grow the team even further and cement our position as the number one private jet specialist on the continent.”

Simo adds: “I'm excited to get started running the division: it is an exciting time for the team as we grew our revenue by more than 50% last year and we are having a strong 2026 so far. I am looking forward to taking us to the next level.”
