ATC Always Takes Care |
August’s high summer skies may elicit
the desire to kick back and enjoy the hazy, crazy, lazy days of summer

is simple, but a major benefit for ATC customers.
ATC’s roots
date back to 1971 when ATC Air Transport Consultants Ltd. was established
in Switzerland as a charter broker. ATC – Always Takes Care New strategies were
introduced based on the corporate slogan: ATC Always Takes Care. A Lifetime In Air Cargo Ingo Zimmer took the
