About Air Cargo
Associates, Inc.
Air Cargo Associates (ACA) was founded in New York in 1978. From
small Lear jets and DC-6 type aircraft to the B-747 and the Russian
built AN-124, ACA has long provided charter services to and from
every continent in the world. Our list of clients ranges from U.S.
to foreign government agencies, the largest multinational
corporations to smaller service/niche market companies and freight
forwarders to airlines. ACA is also one of the most active charter
brokers serving the livestock industry. Transporting nearly 7,000
head of cattle each year, as well as exotics such as llamas and
alpacas, ACA's clients trust the skill and quality of our expertise.
As an aircraft charter broker, ACA maintains the flexibility to
access the most appropriate aircraft for our clients' specific
applications, whenever and wherever the requirement demands. The
high volume of charter flights contracted by ACA allows occasional
charter users to take advantage of our buying power, achieving the
most competitive rates.
The cheapest rate is not always the cheapest charter. Since ACA
is in the charter market full time, we know which carriers are reliable and
which may give a great price. However, in the end, many low price carriers are
unable to perform as promised. ACA's database of aircraft available for
charter, the capacity of each aircraft and its operational capabilities,
eliminates useless calls to carriers not suitable for certain needs. ACA's
in-house charter quote computer program provides the capacity to give a price
indication with your initial call, eliminating time on the phone with every
airline. This program is very helpful in developing pricing for future project
quotations or simply to determine feasibility
ACA maintains contracts with several carriers to provide charter
activity on aircraft that are either committed to ACA on a long-term basis or
simply available for brief periods of time. Contracts such as these give ACA
and our clients the advantage of highly reliable aircraft when second best
simply will not do. By maintaining relationships with the cargo airlines of the
world, ACA performs with competitive and reliable rates whether for cost
analysis purposes or a last minute charter requirement that is short on time.
