Booking your charter with Air Charter Service is a reliable alternative to scheduled services that allows you to plan your trip without uncertainty and stress.

The benefits of chartering with ACS during the pandemic

We all know travelling during a pandemic can be stressful. Ever-changing travel restrictions, sudden border closures, confusing forms to fill out, commercial flight cancellations – it’s enough to make you not want to fly at all, especially if you’re travelling with a large group.

These factors, along with worries about the lingering virus, have led to an influx of first-time private charter clients keen to avoid the busy commercial terminals, crowded planes with unknown passengers, delays and cancellations often associated with scheduled services. Booking your charter with Air Charter Service (ACS) is a reliable alternative that allows you to plan your trip without uncertainty about how you’ll get there.

Here are some of the many benefits of organising a group or private charter with ACS during the pandemic.

INQUIRE

Space and privacy

From private or socially distanced check-in areas at the airport to sourcing a larger aircraft with plenty of extra space on board. our team will do everything to make you feel comfortable throughout your charter.

You can also avoid all the queues on departure and arrival, which are even worse at the moment with the additional paperwork required due to Covid-19.

Your own travel bubble

Because you’re departing via private terminals - or at least more secluded areas of an airport - you’re not having to share space with people away from your travelling party, which reduces the risk of possible infection. This is not only important for health but also increases the likelihood you are not stranded if you test positive whilst abroad.

Flexible and reliable

Preparing for a trip during a pandemic is daunting enough without factoring in inconvenient flight times and last-minute cancellations. The world is still seeing far fewer scheduled flights than it did pre-pandemic, so your choices are comparatively limited. Unlike scheduled flights, with a bespoke group charter, you call the shots and can choose to depart at a time that suits you.

During these uncertain times of changing border restrictions and quarantine rules, we’re also happy to tailor our cancellation terms to each client’s individual needs wherever possible. This way, customers booking in advance can rest assured they won’t be out of pocket if they need to cancel further down the line due to last-minute changes to restrictions.

Round-the-clock-service

Our clients tell us they prefer speaking to a real person rather than using a digital app. That’s why every ACS client enjoys round-the-clock service from a dedicated Personal Account Manager, who’s on-hand 24/7 to guide you through the charter process. Having a consistent point of contact means you won’t be asked to repeat details every time you call – instead, you’ll have a direct line to one expert who can deal with any requests.

Our expert team knows exactly what’s required in each country and your experienced account manager will work with you to ensure everything is ready before your flight.

Travel restriction documentation and updates

Travelling during a pandemic can seem like a logistical nightmare, with endless filling out of forms before you can fly. This can be made worse if you’re travelling in a large group. 

ACS does all the hard work for you. We’ll check whether the borders are open in your chosen destination and ensure that paperwork such as passenger locator forms is completed in time and that your negative Covid-19 test results have been documented. Before your flight, we’ll also provide detailed information on the relevant Covid-19 testing requirements so you and your group know exactly what you need to do in order to travel.
