ACC CEO, Phil Mathews, comments: “The incorporation of Aerotask as part of the ACC Aviation Group represents a significant milestone in the journeys of both organisations. Aerotask reinforces our presence within the Middle East, expanding our existing revenue lines, grow our customer base and allowing us to provide a market-leading end-to-end service offering to our global airline partners. We are also very proud to have been ranked as one of the fastest growing companies in the country – it is a fantastic achievement and a testament to the hard work of everyone at ACC and the support YFM have given the business since the management buyout in 2014.”
