6 June 2024: Following a very successful quarter one, where the Smart Aviation saw the short term ACMI market boom, the team is now commencing the peak period for ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance) bookings – May to September.

As the leaders in global ACMI charters, now in its 19th year, Smart is at the forefront of ACMI leasing for this summer season, with a number of prestigious airlines contacting the team for prompt, reliable, cost-effective solutions, on a regular basis.

June is already proving hugely busy for the team, with over 1,000 hours contracted to date, as well as a number of long term contracts already agreed for the summer ahead.

Jamie Milsom, Smart’s ACMI and Operations Support Officer, said: “After a phenomenal start to 2024, our ACMI bookings are showing no signs of slowing down. Summer is always the busiest time for ACMI charters and we are looking forward to running successful schedules for our clients in partnership with some of our most loyal partners. The team is available 24/7 to respond to all ACMI requests, even if they are short notice, we will find the right solution”.

Smart Aviation was founded in 2005 by Managing Director Mark Hawkins, an established sports charter specialist with over 30 years’ experience in senior operational roles within the travel and aviation industry, including managing sports charters at Excel Airways. Over the last 19 years, Mark has led Smart Aviation to become the leaders in global sports chartering. Mark is still very active in sports chartering, frequently providing air travel for global sports teams to key sporting fixtures including Champions League and Premier League football matches, as well as to ice-hockey, boxing, basketball, golf, motorsport and cricket tournaments.
