Lights, Camera, Take Off: Aircraft for Film and Entertainment

Though ACS has distinct departments catering to different markets, there are instances where multiple departments collaborate to provide unique services to professional clients. One such example is our work with the film and entertainment industry.

At ACS, our major transportation trifecta—private jets, larger airliners, and cargo—are often used in combination to offer a comprehensive service to film and entertainment professionals. We support talent on media and press tours, as well as during their own tours and event seasons. Due to globalisation and the prevalence of international travel, feature films often have multiple premieres in various cities worldwide to maximise box office buzz and success. Similarly, during event seasons, ACS arranges multiple charters of varying types to accommodate different groups. Talent travels on private jets, while the crew, entourage, and media members use accompanying larger airliners, with cargo space available where required.

We offer comprehensive services for music tours, facilitating the transportation of artists, musicians, crew, and their equipment worldwide. In 2016, we were chosen to support Iron Maiden’s four-month world tour, ‘The Book of Souls’. With our mantra of ‘no request being too big or too small’, our team helped over a million fans see their idols perform during the 50-show, six-continent tour. From the sandwiches and toiletries included in the ten tonnes of day-to-day supplies flown with the band, to arranging livery modifications in the UAE, ACS ensured every request was met promptly. The livery modifications included decals of the band’s insignia, their mascot Eddie, and the tour’s logo, working with over 100 handling agents and 300 suppliers, proving that even one of history’s most complex world tours is no match for ACS.

All of our charter experts are trained to the same exacting standards, ensuring you receive meticulous service whether dealing with private, larger airliners, or cargo. Each department is vital to ACS as a whole, and we strive to build relationships and continuously reassure you of our capabilities; if you have an existing relationship with a particular charter broker, they can be your sole point of contact throughout, regardless of the combination of departments involved in your project.

Whether you’re already working with one of our departments or are new to our comprehensive charter solutions, our experts are here to streamline your entertainment schedule. Contact us today to see how we can lighten your organisational load and ensure your project takes off smoothly.
