The announcement was made by CEO Phil Mathews, speaking at this year’s ACC Airline Conference at the Hilton London Gatwick Airport on Wednesday 7th November 2018: “2018 has seen ACC deliver record performance across all of our divisions and our success is not just built on professional expertise, but also on the quality of our relationships.

“It is our strategy to invest in establishing a local presence in key global markets to expand and develop these relationships, and we plan to double our global footprint to six offices by Q1 2019.

“I am delighted to welcome Regional VPs, Offar Bin Musa and Nimalan Vikneswaran, who join us to open the first of our new offices in Kuala Lumpur.”

On his appointment, Offar comments: “It is a pleasure to be joining at such an exciting stage in the company’s development.

“I look forward to working with everyone at ACC, developing relationships with new and existing clients and suppliers and to further progressing the organisation’s international growth.”

The KL office will be headed up by Regional SVP – Asia/Pacific, Andy Peirce.

The company is approaching the end of its most successful year to date, delivering record turnover across every division, including ACMI leasing, aircraft charter.

In particular, the organisation’s market-leading ACMI leasing specialists report over 42,000 contracted block hours in the year to date, demonstrating successive year-on-year growth.
