Air Charter Service evacuates ovr 4,500 from Libya

28-Feb-2011 Air Charter Service has now evacuated over 4,500 passengers from Libya in one of the largest and most complex evacuation operations the company has ever faced, with the company’s Dubai office playing a key role in the operation. So far the company has chartered 26 flights out of Libya, with more charters yet to fly, with passengers from many nationalities including Turkish, British, American, Portuguese, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese and Thai. According to reports, the number of foreign nationals looking to be evacuated in total is around 100,000. By this rationale, ACS has evacuated at least 4% of the total number of people needing to leave Libya. As many of these foreign nationals are crossing the land borders or being evacuated by ferry, ACS has played and extremely significant role in the air evacuation.
