What Avcon does

Avcon (legal entity: AVCON Aviation Consultants Ltd) is a UK-based aircraft charter brokerage founded in 1994 and headquartered in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands. The company operates with a headcount of 1–10 employees and acts as an intermediary between charter clients and a global network of trusted aircraft operators, earning brokerage commissions on full and part charter arrangements. It does not own or operate aircraft itself; its core technology is a relationship-driven brokerage platform that coordinates cargo and passenger charter operations worldwide.

The company offers two primary service lines: cargo aircraft charter (general cargo, outsized and heavyweight shipments, project freight, motorsport/automotive logistics, film and live event equipment, humanitarian relief goods, energy and aerospace cargo, security materials, and e-commerce contract charters) and passenger aircraft charter (sports teams and spectators, film and TV production crews, corporate groups, government delegations, repatriation flights, music tours, maritime crew travel, and private jet charter). Pricing is fully quote-based per engagement, with both ad-hoc and multi-year contract arrangements; no standard tiers or public pricing exist.

Avcon's go-to-market is enterprise-focused B2B direct sales conducted by phone, email, and website enquiry, supported by a small marketing footprint comprising its own website, a Twitter account (@avconaircharter), and a WhatsApp Business contact link. The firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships, or senior management changes on record.
