Global private jet, commercial, and cargo aircraft charter broker, Air Charter Service (ACS), has announced its charity committees helped raise over $200,000 in 2024, a record amount for the company.

The donation was amounted in various ways, among them volunteering, raffles, and physical challenges.

According to Lloyd Robinson, ACS’s director of CESR, the physical challenges included 5km races, half and full marathons, a ‘virtual run’ from one coast of the US to the other (approximately, 4,700 kilometres), and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.

There was also the UK Three Peaks challenge, in which participants must climb the three highest peaks in England, Scotland, and Wales in 24 hours.

“The raffles held at our Christmas parties raised a record amount ($42,000) and combined with various bake sales, and other fundraising initiatives, helped to raise a total of over $200,000,” said Robinson. “I’d like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one that put in the effort and their hands in their pockets to help to reach this fantastic total.”

He added: “On top of the money-raising activities, we have also been busy organising other charity events – from staff in our New York office helping out in a Long Island soup kitchen, to our Australian team filling empty leg charter flights in Australia with donations of clothing and toys and flying into rural Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.”
