based in Riga (RIX). Some aircraft based in Western Europe, and within the UK. Air Charter Services (ACS) manage commercial activities on some of these aircraft. Its a small fleet.

what would you like to know? I was a flight manager for them. They operate AN-26s out of their base at EMA for ACS, crewed by latvians and russian crews. The work is charter work around Europe, and can be anything. The crews i have worked with have been a pleasure to work with, although if a little off put by having a female flight manager on board! I assume you speak russian/lativan?

I think you'd probably have to contact them directly. Main base is RIX but ACS take a couple of their A/c and base them primarily in EMA. As its charter work they do i guess you could end up anywhere. Are they advertising for pilots?
