Booking a College Sports Charter

With the new semester just around the corner, at ACS, we are preparing for our college sports charters to ramp up again. Many collegiate teams choose to charter flights with us for their entire match season – we constantly receive feedback that the flexibility afforded, and time saved,  by chartering rather than flying commercial is invaluable.

The time and energy recovered by passing the baton to ACS to organize your collegiate travel schedule gives your team’s management more time to focus on the things that really matter, meaning your athletes are given the greatest chance of performing at their best. By controlling the times and dates of travel to minutiae detail, time can be planned in the most efficient way, maximizing training and preparation time. We work with you and your team to select the aircraft which best fits your needs – with an inexhaustive global network of contacts, over thirty offices around the world and strong relationships with local US operators (giving us access to a choice of over 50,000 aircraft), we ensure that there is more than enough space for athletes, coaches, fans, equipment, and anything in-between.

Chartering allows you the benefit of breezing through security, reducing the number of points of human contact along the way – helping your athletes arrive refreshed and fighting fit. When chartering with ACS, we assign a dedicated charter specialist as your point of contact throughout the process, ensuring all cogs are in place before travel, and that all turn smoothly on travel days. 

How and when to book

As the sporting calendar kicks off, and the matches roll in thick and fast, it is best to contact us sooner rather than later to ensure that you put yourself in the best position for securing the first pick of the available aircraft. Contacting us earlier increases the variety of aircraft choice, but also makes it more likely that there is a greater range in price for budgets of all sizes. Your highly-experienced and dedicated charter specialist is available 24/7 to assist whenever needed throughout the process, ensuring that every facet of the operation more than meets your needs and expectations.

While we encourage booking earlier for greater choice, we also understand that life doesn’t always go to plan. Our charter specialists are primed to deal with each and every eventuality, ensuring that last minute arrangements for games and matches are met in the fastest time possible; we are always on hand to facilitate even the most urgent of travel arrangements.

Charter Concepts

At ACS, we pride ourselves on flying that extra mile for our clients; our dedicated Charter Concepts team exists solely to elevate your charter experience from take-off to touch-down (and beyond!). We always work diligently to ensure that you and your teams are as comfortable and content as they can be while flying with us, but this also extends to the comprehensive experience of flying by charter.

Our Charter Concepts team can provide an inexhaustible list of additional enhancements to elevate your experience flying with us – we create a schedule for your needs, but we also create an atmosphere and ambience for your needs, and to your exacting specifications. Group and valet parking facilities are often added to our charters, as well as dedicated security lines and the use of private airport lounges. 

Incorporating your team or College’s branding is a commonly-added garnish – branded check-in desks, boarding passes, and ticket wallets are regularly provided. If bigger branding is one of your major league strategies, we regularly provide aircraft livery services, adding logos and straplines to the airplane’s exterior, with branded headrest covers, menu cards, napkins, coasters and toiletry kits bedecking the plane’s interior.

We appreciate that nutrition is important for peak performance, and that the catering served by flying commercial may do more to unravel good work in the final moments than anything else. As an ACS customer, your needs are our highest priority – if you need particular, or specialist catering to be provided, we make it happen. Your charter is exactly that, yours, we meet each and every need you have, and work hard to exceed your expectations in every way.

With 10 offices across the United States, expert local knowledge, extensive network of available aircraft, and years of experience in catering to the college sport industry, ACS is ideally placed to take the stress out of your collegiate travel schedule. Contact one of our charter specialists today.
