Dear colleagues,
The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused unprecedented disruption across the globe.
While the virus may have had a significant impact on our way of life, by working together I have every confidence that we will come out the other side even stronger.
Aviation has been hit particularly hard by the global restrictions on movement. I have been fortunate enough to enjoy a career in this industry that spans more than 30 years – and yet I continually find myself awed by the way in which the aviation community comes together through the toughest of challenges. Time and again, we persevere in the face of adversity – I know that this time will be no exception.
To ACC’s valued airline and operator partners; we have supported one another for many years, through good times and bad. While the future may be uncertain, I know I speak for everyone here at ACC when I say that we look forward to working together for many more years to come.
To our clients who continue to put their faith in ACC to deliver bespoke aviation solutions – from dedicated aircraft charter programmes to strategic advice and counsel – we thank you for your trust and loyalty during this difficult time.
Rest assured; our global teams are working tirelessly to provide the same exceptional standards of service you have come to expect.
And finally, to ACC’s staff and employees around the world – throughout this crisis, you have gone beyond the call of duty, demonstrating remarkable commitment, professionalism and teamwork.
I am immensely proud to be working with such a dedicated group of people.
We will weather this storm, as we have so many others – and be stronger for it. In the meantime, my team of aviation experts and I remain at your disposal 24/7, to help whenever and wherever you need us.
Wishing you and your loved ones good health,
Phil Mathews
