ACC Aviation

What ACC Aviation does

ACC Aviation is a UK-headquartered, privately held aviation services group operating across three integrated service lines: Air Charter brokerage, ACMI Leasing, and Aviation Consultancy. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Reigate under parent entity NEWACC (2018) Limited, the firm is structured as an Employee-Owned Trust (EOT) and operates from three regional offices in the UK (Reigate), the United States (Fort Lauderdale), and the United Arab Emirates (Dubai Airport Freezone), with a global sales reach spanning Europe, the Middle East, Africa, North America, and Asia.

The company acts as an independent broker and advisor rather than an aircraft operator or technology developer. Air Charter covers private jet, group, cargo, corporate shuttle, and rapid-response charter, sourcing aircraft from a global network of vetted operators on a transaction-fee basis. ACMI Leasing connects airlines with short- and long-term wet and dry lease capacity, including AOG replacement and seasonal demand coverage. Aviation Consultancy provides strategic advisory, market intelligence, finance and investment, asset acquisition, valuation, technical services, remarketing, aircraft transactions, repossession support, and due diligence/credit advisory to airlines, lessors, investors, and lenders.

Commercial mechanics combine transaction-fee revenue from charter and ACMI brokerage with professional-services fees from advisory mandates. The go-to-market is sales-led via dedicated 24/7 account managers, supplemented by industry event presence (Routes World, Airline Economics, ERA Regional Airline Conference), thought-leadership market reports, email newsletters, website enquiry funnels with quote-based pricing, and a network of GTM partnerships spanning travel management, luxury hospitality, relocation, and sustainability. Customers include scheduled airlines, aircraft lessors, investors, lenders, governments, and high-net-worth individuals, with the company noting ranked 127th in the Sunday Times HSBC International Track 200 in 2019. No revenue, funding rounds, or acquisitions are disclosed.
