The award was introduced to recognise the value the brokerage community delivers in facilitating executive, commercial and cargo air charters.

Chairman Jeremy Palmer proudly accepted the accolade from Alex Harrington, Commercial Director of category sponsor Titan Airways at the Brighton Metropole Hotel last week and thanked operator clients for their nominations. Hunt & Palmer has been an active member of The Air Charter Association since 1986.

“The broker / operator relationship is very special. Our clients entrust us to look after their travel needs and cargo requirements with the utmost discretion and care. Therefore, our choice of operator for the range of missions we support is crucial to meeting and exceeding everyone’s expectations. Mutual respect and attention to detail is also very important, so this accolade, from the ACA’s member operators is truly appreciated, ” said Jeremy Palmer. “This award is for the entire Hunt & Palmer and Premier Aviation family in Europe, USA, Asia and Australasia.”

Companies view Air Charter Association membership as a key benchmark to assuring their partners and clients of their reputation and professionalism. The ACA is recognised globally by its 320-strong membership in more than 50 countries across six continents. Over the past few years it has widened its representation in cargo and airline markets.
