I see they are using Air Charter Service AOC (Voluxis) for their Falcon. I have seen some (well two) very interesting emails from Voluxis to aircraft owners offering loads of charter if they move to them as they are owned by ACS. In short ACS are going to operators for quotes, then seeing if they can put on one of their own aircraft slightly cheaper. It looks like ACS are using the market to check the prices then using their own fleet when possible. I am surprised operators are letting them do this. I have also heard that if brokers put clients on Voluxis they are very proactive in making sure the client is fully aware of ACS by the end of the flight! I am sure brokers are aware of this and are staying well away from Voluxis which will impact the owners getting charter. It reminds me of Air Partner and Gold Air and the success that ended up being.
