Aviation service provider ACC Aviation Group, has announced the expansion of its partnership with national flag carrier and Star Alliance member, Ethiopian Airlines, to include the operator's charter and leasing capacity across North America and Asia, in addition to aircraft availability across Europe.
To date, the collaboration has yielded significant results for the aviation service provider and Ethiopian, including ACMI operations for Smartwings and aircraft charter flights for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, 2017/18 and 2018/19 UEFA Champions League tournaments and major cruise operators.
The agreement encompasses aircraft based across a number of international aviation hubs, including London Heathrow, Manchester, Madrid, Frankfurt, Paris Charles de Gaulle, Moscow Domodedovo, Houston, Bangkok, Hong Kong and Chengdu.
ACC Aviation Group CEO, Phil Mathews, commented: “The working relationship between ACC Aviation Group and Ethiopian has continued to develop and strengthen and their decision to extend this agreement symbolizes their trust in our ability to represent their interests globally.
“Ethiopian Airlines' modern fleet includes Boeing 787 Dreamliners and Airbus A350s, aircraft which are not generally available, and this partnership gives ACC's clients access to some of the most contemporary widebody capacity in the ad-hoc charter and wet-leasing market.
