ACC Aviation have reported strong second-quarter results for its air cargo charter division, marking a profitable first full quarter under dedicated cargo leadership since Jack Burt's appointment as SVP of Cargo in April.
Over the course of Q2 2026, ACC Aviation coordinated a series of large-scale Boeing 747-400F widebody charter missions spanning three continents, executing complex, time-critical operations for clients in oil and gas, aerospace, and defense sectors. The results combined disciplined cost management with efficient deal structures, which made a positive contribution to ACC Aviation's overall group performance, validating the company's investment in building a dedicated cargo charter capability.
Each mission required close coordination with aircraft operators, ground handling agents, customs authorities, and end-clients across multiple time zones, and regulatory jurisdictions which were delivered on time, on specification, and in full. According to Burt, recent assignments have highlighted non-negotiable cargo urgency, security and precision which are indicative of the added value and peace of mind that ACC Aviation brings to customers’ cargo operations.
“When a client calls us with an urgent mission, whether it's drilling equipment headed to an active oilfield in the Middle East or sensitive defense cargo bound for Europe, they need absolute confidence in execution,” said Jack Burt, SVP of Cargo, ACC Aviation. “This quarter, our team delivered that confidence, backed by the strength of our operator network and the discipline of our processes.”
Underpinning the quarter's results is the operational foundation ACC Aviation has built in recent months: a proprietary, industry-leading database of certified freighter operators spanning every payload category and region, paired with a streamlined quotation process engineered for urgent, time-critical charters.
“These outcomes reflect the investment ACC Aviation has made in building a specialized cargo charter capability with the right people, the right processes, and the right partnerships,” said Phil Mathews, Chief Executive Officer, ACC Aviation. “Beyond the Americas, our cargo charter capabilities position us to compete for and win missions across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. As demand for reliable charter solutions grows worldwide, ACC is now well-placed to extend its reach in the global air cargo charter market.”
