The Air Charter Regional Forum debuts in the US to tackle industry challenges

Leading global trade body, The Air Charter Association (The ACA), is hosting its first Air Charter Regional Forum on 19th & 20th August 2025 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The Air Charter Regional Forum will be the third US industry event delivered by The ACA following successful roundtables in Colorado and Georgia, and will be hosted by Glenn Hogben, chief executive of The ACA and Ryan Waguespack, The ACA’s International Board Member for North America.

The ACA is committed to supporting the air charter market within the US and already represents 50 US-based members.

The ACA delivers value to its members through its networking events, with the Air Charter Regional Forum being a primary opportunity for engaging discussions between industry partners on current challenges and solutions. It is also the perfect format to create dialogue between brokers and operators.

Previous agendas have featured a combination of panel discussions and interactive roundtable debates, with topics carefully curated based on The ACA’s member feedback, including fraud and cybersecurity, regulatory developments and broker-operator relationships. The ACA has hosted previous forums in London, Prague, Antwerp and most recently at EBACE in Geneva.

Glenn Hogben, chief executive, The Air Charter Association, says: “The Air Charter Association is a truly global organisation, with a steadily growing membership in the United States and we want to ensure that we are providing the same outstanding networking opportunities to our US members. After delivering several successful industry networking events in the region over the past year, it is fantastic that we are now able to take The ACA Air Charter Regional Forum to the US.”

In addition to organising unrivalled business networking events, The ACA also upholds the highest standards within the air charter industry by providing professional charter market accreditation, bespoke training, workforce development and advocacy for the industry.

The Air Charter Association, founded in 1949, is the leading worldwide trade association for companies engaged in aircraft charter. Its members maintain the highest standards of conduct and professionalism in the aviation market. The ACA supports its members with expert guidance on compliance and best practice, offering bespoke training, workforce development and unrivalled business networking, and works closely with aviation regulators and government bodies on key industry issues.
