Aircraft charter specialist, Air Charter Service, has chosen Cologne as its fourth German location and recently celebrated the inauguration of its new office there. It already runs charter offices in Frankfurt and Munich, as well as its ACS Time Critical headquarters, also in Frankfurt. Commercial Jets Director, Melanie Hentschel has been appointed to head the new office. She brings a decade of charter experience with her, having previously worked for Air Partner and Chapman Freeborn Airchartering in Cologne. She joined ACS in FEB22, initially as Commercial Jets Assistant Director, but quickly moved to Commercial Jets Director just half a year later. Cologne was chosen since it is a strategic location for the German aerospace industry. It is close to both the headquarters of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) as well as the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)
Caroline Werf, CEO of ACS Germany, commented: “We have been looking for some time at opening an office in Cologne – it’s a key hub for the aircraft industry in Germany. Not only are there a great deal of professionals in charter aviation in the city and the surrounding area, but both the headquarters for the German Aerospace Center (DLR), and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) are based here. ACS has always had a strong partnership with Cologne Airport and, with this new office, we are looking forward to even closer cooperation in the future.”
Melanie Hentschel, Commercial Jets Director ACS, stated: “I’m excited to get going here in Cologne, the city in which I’ve spent most of my career. Together with Caroline we’re already looking to grow the team, over the coming months, and make Cologne another successful German ACS office.”
