Air Charters Europe (ACE), a member of ASL Group, has been recognised for the second consecutive year as Best Commercial Passenger Charter Operator of the Year (19 seats or more) at the recent prestigious Air Charter Excellence Awards in Brighton, UK.

Organised by The Air Charter Association, the leading global trade association for the aircraft charter industry since 1949, the Air Charter Excellence Awards bring together over 500 aviation professionals to celebrate outstanding performance and service within the charter sector. This year's ceremony took place at the DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole.

Being recognised again by the Air Charter Association is a tremendous confirmation of their commitment.”

With more than 25 years of combined expertise in business aviation, ACE successfully introduced private-jet quality and comfort into the group travel market, serving incentives, corporate groups, sports teams and leisure travel for up to 42 passengers.

Today, ACE operates two 30-seat Embraer ERJ-135 aircraft, one 42-seat Embraer ERJ-145 aircraft and one 37-seat Embraer ERJ-135ER aircraft, which recently entered service. This enlarged fleet offers increased flexibility, range and capacity to support ACE's growing operations across Europe.
