On-demand private jet charter and jet card broker Air Charter Service has opened an office in Manchester, England.

It is the flight provider’s third office in the U.K. and 35th globally.

Alex Sadat-Shafai, a 15-year veteran of Air Charter Service, will head up the new location.

He was previously the Global Football Sales Director.

We have been looking into expanding our U.K. network for some time now. Manchester is the second most populous city in the U.K., having overtaken Birmingham in recent years. It is a renowned technology and creative hub and the fastest-growing city in North England,” said Air Charter Service CEO Justin Bowman.

Bowman added, “The north-west is also an extremely busy sporting region, especially in football, with six Premier League teams within a 40-mile radius of Manchester, as well as many other large lower league teams. Air Charter Service is already a leader in aircraft charters for the football industry, having arranged more than 1,500 contracts in the past five years, and this new office is perfectly situated to increase our business even further.”
