Pulse Analysis
ACS UK’s recent win of two tier‑one airline contracts underscores the company’s rapid resurgence after reopening its order book. The agreements focus on bespoke monuments that will sit in the front rows of wide‑body cabins, allowing airlines to reinforce brand identity while enhancing passenger experience. By targeting high‑visibility interior elements, ACS UK differentiates itself from commodity suppliers and positions its engineering expertise as a strategic asset for carriers planning fleet upgrades through 2027.
The broader aviation landscape is experiencing a notable upswing in aircraft deliveries, with Boeing and Airbus reporting higher output than in 2024 and projecting continued growth into 2026. This production lift drives a parallel surge in demand for premium cabin interiors, as airlines seek to capitalize on new aircraft to attract high‑value customers. Suppliers that can deliver customized, high‑quality solutions—such as ACS UK—stand to capture a larger share of the ancillary revenue stream tied to cabin differentiation and passenger comfort.
To capitalize on this momentum, ACS UK has invested heavily in its UK‑based engineering and manufacturing hubs, expanding capacity and integrating advanced design tools. The company’s participation in the Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) 2026 in Hamburg further amplifies its market visibility, connecting it with OEMs and airline decision‑makers. With deliveries scheduled for 2027, ACS UK is well‑positioned to ride the wave of increased aircraft deliveries, offering a compelling blend of craftsmanship, innovation, and brand‑focused interior solutions.
Press Release: ACS UK wins two new contracts with tier-one airlines
Aircraft interiors specialist, ACS UK, has secured two significant new contracts with tier-one global airlines, marking a strong return to market just months after reopening its order book.
Signalling strong market demand for its services, the agreements cover the design and manufacture of bespoke, customised monuments for wide-body aircraft. Each monument will be tailored to reflect the individual brand identities and values of the respective airlines. Deliveries are expected to begin in 2027.
Nigel McSorley, CEO of ACS UK, commented: “Securing these contracts so soon after reopening our order book is a clear endorsement of the quality, creativity, and reliability that ACS UK brings to the market.
“We’re proud to be partnering with two leading global airlines to deliver bespoke monument solutions that elevate both passenger and crew experience while reflecting the unique character of each brand. It’s an exciting milestone for the team and a positive sign of the momentum building across our business and the wider industry.”
The contracts come against a backdrop of rising aircraft production. Last year saw an increase in deliveries from both Boeing and Airbus compared with 2024, and further production growth is forecast across the major OEMs for 2026. This trend is a positive signal for the wider aviation sector, and of the renewed demand for high-quality cabin interior solutions from suppliers such as ACS UK.
ACS UK has been investing in its UK-based engineering and manufacturing facilities and working closely with OEMs and airlines to expand its offerable portfolio. These developments put the company is a strong position to support the expected ramp-up in aircraft deliveries.
ACS UK also recently confirmed its participation at Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) 2026 in Hamburg this April. Demand for meetings with customers and partners is already high, further reflecting the market’s renewed confidence and interest in ACS UK’s capabilities. The show is the most influential event for aircraft cabin interiors, offering the opportunity to explore the technologies shaping the future of aircraft cabins. ACS UK will be exhibiting at Stand 7A01.
