Commercial Jets Director at ACS, Matt Purton, explained: "With a capacity of 76 seats

The aircraft is in an all economy plus configuration, with 31” pitch seats in a two by two

at the request of our client base, we have brought it in"
Purton continued, "We’ve been pleasantly surprised at the uptake from Tour Operators
looking for niche routes from regional airports to Mediterranean countries especially.
Also we’ve already seen some demand for ACMI - airline sub charter - coverage, all this
is in addition to our core charter business"
