The Focus on ACMI Business
As part of its strategic realignment, GlobalX has announced a renewed focus on its ACMI passenger and cargo charter business.
Building on the momentum gained in 2023, the company aims to capitalize on the growing demand for charter services and enhance its profitability in this segment.
Chris Jamroz emphasized the company’s impressive performance in 2023, citing a significant increase in block hours operated compared to the previous year.
“In 2023 GlobalX operated 18,071 block hours, a 109% percent increase over 2022. The first month of 2024 has also started strong with greater than 1,737 hours operated, a 134% percent increase over January 2023,” Jamroz said.
“Given this rapid growth and clear need for additional aircraft capacity to meet the sales demand, we are re-directing our company resources to be devoted to the passenger charter business and its needs.”
With January 2024 already showing promising results, GlobalX is poised to capitalize on the market opportunities and further expand its operations.
