Air Charter Service expands Germany network with Stuttgart office

Aircraft charter broker Air Charter Service has opened a new office in Stuttgart, marking its fifth location in Germany and its 42nd office globally. The company said the expansion strengthens its presence in southern Germany and supports its plans to grow its customer base in the region.

Caroline Werf, CEO of ACS Deutschland, said Stuttgart is one of Germany’s financial centres and the country’s fourth-largest metropolitan area. She noted that the city houses the headquarters of companies including Bosch, Porsche, and Mercedes-Benz. According to Werf, the opening follows the launch of ACS offices in Cologne in 2025 and Munich in 2024.

Werf said, "Stuttgart is an important financial centre in Germany and is the fourth largest metropolitan area in the country. The city is home to the headquarters of several major multinational corporations, including Bosch, Porsche and Mercedes Benz. It is an exciting time for ACS in Germany, as this office becomes our fifth in the country, following the openings in Cologne last year and Munich the year before.”

The Stuttgart office will be led by Thomas Müller, who joined ACS more than five years ago as Cargo Business Development Director. The company said Müller has spent his entire career in the logistics sector and has worked in Stuttgart throughout that period.

Werf added: “The Stuttgart office will be headed up by the experienced Thomas Müller. Thomas joined ACS more than five years ago as Cargo Business Development Director, after spending his entire career in the logistics industry and working in Stuttgart for all of that time. The office will look to work closely with the clients we already have in the city, as well as working with new customers.”

Müller said the office opening reflects the company’s plans to deepen relationships with existing customers in the region while expanding its operations in southern Germany.

“I’m delighted to be opening this office in my native Stuttgart and building up my team here. Since joining ACS I have been dealing with many customers based in the city, and now is the time to open an office here and further grow that business,” he said.

The company provides private jet, commercial airliner, and cargo charters, along with onboard courier solutions. ACS said it arranges more than 35,000 flights annually and has recorded revenue of more than $1 billion for the past six years.
