Air Charter Service (ACS) saw strong demand for cargo charters in 2025, moving substantial volumes of freight across its global network and relying heavily on widebody freighters to keep goods moving for customers worldwide.

In total, the company transported almost 90,000 tons of cargo, averaging just over 20 tons per flight. The Boeing 747‑400F remained the workhorse of the operation, completing more than 350 missions, with some loads exceeding 100 tons.

The aircraft charter company said it also had a "record-breaking year" in 2025, with 35,467 charter flights.

Air Charter Service's CEO, Justin Bowman, said: "Last year we arranged over 35,000 flights, more than ever before, but many other records got broken along with that. For instance, ACS-chartered aircraft flew into, or out of, 2,323 IATA or ICAO recognised airports last year, along with hundreds more non-designated airfields, such as dirt runways, ice runways, helipads and even water landings."

He noted that the airports covered stretched across 206 countries — a scale that stands out when compared with American Airlines, which serves 350 destinations in 63 countries, the widest reach of any international carrier.

"We couldn't have chartered any of these without the wonderful airlines and operators that we work with, last year we joined forces to book aircraft with 1,348 of them on behalf of our clients. Our charters were on aircraft ranging from helicopters, all the way up to Airbus A380s and the huge Antonov 124 cargo aircraft – with a total of 4,718 separate aircraft and 389 different types in 2025," Bowman added.

"On cargo aircraft, we transported almost 90,000 tons of freight, with an average of just over 20 tons per flight. The Boeing B747-400F was the most popular cargo aircraft, with more than 350 operations carried out, some with payloads of over 100 tons."

In the second half of 2025, ACS said it reached the milestone number of 40 offices — operating in six continents and 20 countries.
