- December 16, 2020, 12:31 PM Concerned that illegal charter remains a threat to the industry, a dozen business aviation organizations are uniting in their effort to combat the practice through the creation of a new Air Charter Safety Alliance (ACSA). Through ACSA, the organizations will work together to raise awareness of illegal charters for potential customers, charter brokers, ministries of transport, and national aviation organizations. The issue has been a top priority for ACSA members, which have worked both individually and collaboratively on various initiatives to fight illegal charter. “Illegal/grey charters know no boundaries,” said Ryan Waguespack, National Air Transportation Association senior v-p. “The industry has made great progress in joining together to advance crucial initiatives, such as sustainability. We look forward to experiencing that same level of success as a unified force in eliminating illegal charter operations.”
