About Us

A Word From
Our CEO

Since 1994, ACASS has been empowering leaders and visionaries to chart their courses, expand their horizons, and shape their destinies. We live to get you where you want to be, in every sense of that phrase. No matter how much we grow, personal relationships and hands-on involvement will always be the heart and soul of our business. I invite you to contact me or any other member of the ACASS team to explore how we can help make your vision a reality.

Results You’ll Like.
People To Match.

Life is too short and the world is too big to work with people you don’t genuinely enjoy having along on your journey. Nor should you have to choose between people you want to work with and people who deliver the results you want. At ACASS, we pride ourselves not only on having some of the most experienced and capable people in all of business aviation, but also on having some of the very nicest. We like to think of it as world-class capability complemented by distinctively Canadian cordiality.

How We Work

Obviously, our clients seek us out and stay with us for the results we deliver. But having faith in the consistency of those results requires an understanding of the culture, philosophies, and processes that drive who we are and what we do. After 28 years in business, we have established several imperatives for consistent success.

Hire The Best

You cannot build a great house without a strong foundation. We recruit from all over the world and hire the very best and most experienced talent in the business aviation industry. This means finding people that have not only the skill set and knowledge to deliver superior results, but also the character, temperament, and professionalism to deliver a client service experience second to none.

Cultivate The
Right Culture

Yes, bottom line results are important. But we do not believe results and virtue are mutually exclusive. On the contrary, we consider values like integrity, accountability, and humility to be integral to our success. That’s why we insist that everyone at ACASS adheres to a carefully considered set of fundamental values and shares a common sense of purpose and culture.

Listen, Learn, Innovate

When you’ve been doing something successfully for a quarter of a century, it might be tempting to slip into an “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mentality. But we believe our success is a direct result of rejecting that mentality. Instead, we constantly listen to our clients to understand their ever-evolving needs. Then, we develop new and constantly better ways to answer them.

Live By
Our Words

Own your journey® is not some empty marketing slogan. Those three words are the driving philosophy behind everything we do. It means liberating you from the endless business aviation obstacles and complications that would otherwise keep you from getting where you want to be, both literally and in a much more meaningful sense as well.
