Dhaka: Air Charter Service (ACS) has reported a 61pc increase in charter bookings from its Singapore office in the first nine months of 2025, compared to the same period last year, outperforming global trends in the private charter market, according to data from aviation analyst WingX.

Brendan Toomey, CEO of ACS Singapore, said revenue rose 155pc year-on-year during the period, surpassing the office’s total 2024 performance by September.

He attributed the growth to a combination of market dynamics and regional shifts.

“The economic climate of the region, and Singapore in particular, has played its part in our success,” Toomey said. “With many companies relocating regional headquarters from Hong Kong, Singapore has emerged as a top destination for global corporations.”

He added that Singapore’s position as a major aviation hub — the fourth busiest globally for international passengers and a high-traffic node for cargo — continues to support business growth.

ACS said revenue was further boosted by large cargo aircraft charters between Cambodia and Thailand, following regional border closures earlier this year. Excluding those, underlying revenue growth stood at 65pc.

The company expects record levels of both charter volume and revenue by the end of 2025, its strongest performance since launching operations in Singapore in 2020.

Toomey added that ACS is planning to expand its team to accommodate rising demand.
