Company Background

Founded by its sole shareholder in 2010, ACS has experienced significant growth and continues to develop at a market-leading pace, focusing on narrowbody Boeing and Airbus aircraft.  Its unique ability to “handle the metal,” along with full in-house capability across all aspects of managing mid-life and end-of-life aircraft, provides the platform for creating value in a competitive environment. Areas in which ACS can typically “add value” range from optimizing cash flows associated with a specific lease to maximizing an aircraft’s residual value via a sum-of-the-parts exit approach, passenger release, or freighter conversion and cargo release.
