Air Charter Service picked up the award for Best Charter Brokerage at AsBAA’s Icons of Aviation Gala Event in Hong Kong in October.

James Royds-Jones, regional director for Greater China, says: “Winning Best Charter Brokerage for the second year in a row is a fantastic achievement for our team, and something we are immensely proud of. The award reflects the hard work, commitment and professionalism of our consultants and support teams, who go above and beyond every day for our customers, often in a demanding and time-critical environment.

“We would also like to thank our customers, suppliers and industry partners for voting for us and for the trust they continue to place in us. Achievements like this are only possible because of the relationships we have built together over many years, and we look forward to continuing to strengthen those partnerships in the years ahead.”

The award continues a strong year of industry recognition for ACS, which picked up seven major accolades globally in 2026. It was voted Charter Operators' Broker of the Year Enterprise by The Air Charter Association, having already secured three such titles globally over the course of the year. It was named Europe’s Leading Private Jet Charter Company 2026 at the World Travel Awards ceremony in southwestern Montenegro following a nearly 50% increase in charter numbers across its 15 European offices during the first half of this year. The Air Charter Association named it Charter Broker of the Year at the Air Charter Excellence Awards 2026 in West London, marking the strong relationships it has forged with operators; last year alone it arranged more than 35,000 flights, booking with around 1,400 operators and dealing with thousands more. And in September it won the Aviation Customer Focus Achievement Award at the Aviation Industry Awards UK.
