Montreal marks the second Canadian office for global private jet charter broker Air Charter Service.
The new office adds to its location in Toronto.
It is its 36th office worldwide.
Canada CEO Gary Hopkins says, “We have been serving the whole of Canada from our Toronto office since opening there 15 years ago, but we’ve been looking at Montreal as a second location for a while now to better serve Quebec.”
He adds, “The city is an important center of commerce, finance, industry, and technology, and the new operation means that we can be closer to our French-speaking clients in the province.”
Adila Djerrar, who joined the company more than three years ago and has seven years of experience in the airline and travel industries, will head up the office.
Djerrar says, “I can’t wait to get started here and continue the work that my team and I have been doing over the past few months in preparation and the expansion that we have planned to make Montreal another successful Canadian Air Charter Service office.”

He adds, “The raffles held at our Christmas parties raised a record amount, $42,000, and combined with various bake sales and other fundraising initiatives, helped to raise a total of over $200,000.”
