Taking off: Perth Airport owner celebrates growth and aims to reach higher

The operator of Perth Airport is flying high after staff numbers grew by 60 per cent to 20 since it took over the hub in November. ACS Aviation, which was bought by Glasgow Airport-based Cloud Global last year, said headcount has grown across all departments, while three aircraft have been added to its fleet. It is also aiming to grow turnover by at least 50 per cent from £1 million in 2016. Managing director Graeme Frater (pictured) said: “We are rapidly developing as a real centre of aviation activity and excellence in Scotland.”
