AIR CHARTER SERVICE - LIBYA EVACUATION UPDATE

Air Charter Service has now evacuated over 4,500 passengers from Libya in one of the largest and most complex evacuation operations the company has ever faced. So far the company has chartered 26 flights out of Libya with more charters yet to fly with passengers from many nationalities including, Turkish, British, American, Portuguese, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese and Thai.

According to reports, the number of foreign nationals looking to be evacuated in total is around 100,000. By this rationale, ACS has evacuated at least 4% of the total number of people needing to leave Libya. As many of these foreign nationals are crossing the land borders and being evacuated by ferry, ACS has played and extremely significant role in the air evacuation.

The first ACS charter out of Tripoli departed on Wednesday and was one of the first civilian charters to do so following the crisis. Members of many ACS offices including Dubai, Spain, London and New York worked together as a team to ensure the successful operation in the most difficult an chaotic of circumstances.

ACS had staff on the ground in Malta to ensure smooth transit of over 1000 passengers who we evacuated from Tripoli to their final destinations in Bangkok and Hanoi. A staff member from ACS Dubai was also on hand in Dubai International airport to greet Chinese passengers from our evacuation flight from Shebha in Libya. On Saturday, ACS had a member of staff in Tripoli who recorded the scene in the airport which can be found on YouTube.
