There was a fantastic selection of aircraft on the static display including the all-new Dassault Falcon 6X – exhibited in the UK for the first time – as well as a Gulfstream G700 from Qatar Executive. The ACA is committed to its sustainability goals and worked with partner 4AIR to calculate and offset the CO2e footprint of the event, including the movements of the display aircraft. Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) was also available onsite to all aircraft exhibitors.
Kevin Ducksbury, Chair of The Air Charter Association, said: “It was fantastic to build upon the success of last year’s Air Charter Expo with another record number of exhibitors and attendees, firmly cementing ACE as one of the best industry networking events of the year. The ACA has members spanning 59 countries globally, and we were delighted to welcome familiar and new faces to the event.”
Robert Walters, Commercial Director, London Biggin Hill Airport said: “The Air Charter Expo has been another phenomenal success bringing the global business aviation charter sector together in the UK. With a wide range of international exhibitors, an impressive static aircraft display and valuable conference sessions, this record-breaking event once again showcased the best the industry has to offer. London Biggin Hill Airport is proud to be the home of ACE, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back for ACE 2025 on 9th September."
