Air Charter Service (ACS) has raised over $200,000 for charity again this past year. This was achieved through a variety of activities such as challenges, volunteering, and raffles. The amount matches the record set in 2024.
Katie Ivie, Group HR Director and head of the Charity Committee, commented on the team’s efforts: “The global team has once again committed themselves after we achieved a record amount last year. This included various sporting challenges, such as marathons, Kane Lewandowski’s 885 km bike ride, and the summit of Kilimanjaro. Additionally, employees made donations for relief efforts following the destruction caused by Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica last October.”
The raffles held during the holiday season raised a record amount of $43,000 for charity. Together with other fundraising initiatives, including quiz nights and several bake sales, a total of over $200,000 was raised. Ivie thanked everyone who engaged and provided financial support to achieve this impressive result.
Community Engagement
In addition to fundraising activities, ACS employees also contributed to the community in other ways. Employees from the New York office helped at a soup kitchen on Long Island, while volunteers from the London office wrapped Christmas gifts for the local children’s charity Momentum. The team in Brisbane supported the local Salvation Army by assembling food packages with essential staples to provide additional support to families during the holidays.

The company organizes over 35,000 flights annually and has generated more than $1 billion in revenue over the past six years.
