Elie Hanna has been promoted to the role of CEO of ACS Dubai and will oversee the company’s growth in the Middle East.
Chris Leach, Chairman of Air Charter Service, said:
“Elie has enjoyed huge success with the company since he joined us 13 years ago. During that time, he has shown excellent leadership qualities and a deep understanding of the Middle Eastern market. The region spans many different countries and cultures, and we believe Elie is the perfect person to focus on growing our business in each of these submarkets. Our future investment plans in the region need to be shaped based on local knowledge, and the board and I look forward to working closely with Elie to develop a strategy to further cement our place as one of the leading charter providers in the Middle East.
The first step is the expansion of the private jet team in the region, with three senior members joining over the next two months.”
This news follows the recent announcement that Andrew Summers has left his role in Dubai to become Regional Director for ACS’s European offices.
