Within her role, she will be responsible for developing the association's training offering for members and delivering The ACA's Air Charter Broker Qualification, alongside chief executive Glenn Hogben and the board.

Julie's appointment will support The ACA with its transition to offering training online for its members, in addition to the in-person opportunities already on offer.

Kevin Ducksbury, chairman, The ACA, says: “Providing our members with training is a key priority and with Julie's expertise in the air charter industry, we will be able to expand our offering. Online training provides added flexibility for our international members, and we're looking forward to launching this service in the coming months.”
