A well-managed group with a focus on maintaining quality and reliability on our core short-haul ACMI business, ASL executed a very positive, forward-looking strategy to control costs whilst investing in aircraft and new technologies to meet the requirements of our Group and our customers to reduce and eventually eliminate carbon emissions.
ASL Aviation Holdings DAC is a global aviation services company with its Corporate Office in Dublin, Ireland. The group consists of multiple companies including eight airlines, maintenance facilities and several leasing entities.
ASL is a world leader in ACMI wet-lease airline operations for major express freight integrators, postal and e-commerce companies under long-term contracts. The business’ long-haul cargo division holds traffic rights to and slots at several strategic hubs in Asia and North America.
