Multilingual Charter experts available 24/7/365
Chapman Freeborn delivers reliable and cost-effective cargo
charter solutions to a diverse client base of international
freight forwarders, logistics providers, shippers, governments,
and humanitarian relief organisations.
We specialise in providing tailored charter
services for:
– Heavy and outsize pieces
– Oil and gas equipment
– Automotive cargo
– High value commodities
– Aerospace equipment
– Peacekeeping support
– Humanitarian relief cargo
– Airdropping
– Dangerous goods
– Aircraft on Ground (AOG) situations
We analyse route, payload and timescale in
order to propose the most suitable aircraft for
your requirements. We also offer part-charters,
backloads and other commercially innovative
solutions for ad hoc, emergency and project
cargo. This, coupled with our volume buying
power and relationships, frequently enables
us to provide our clients with superbly
competitive pricing.
Value-added service
Our cargo team provide clients with in-depth
project studies that include a ‘loadability’
assessment.
We can also organise cargo inspections at
the manufacturer’s facility, and advise on
packaging requirements.
Flight support
Our global flight support specialists, Wings 24,
(www.wings24.com) are on hand to assist with
the securing of all required traffic rights and
clearances to expedite your shipments.
For flight programmes to difficult and remote
regions we can also deploy specialist project
managers to oversee operations from the
ground. Many of our personnel have obtained
the highest level military and government
security clearances and possess years of
operational experience.
Automative Freight and Product Launches
Time-critical parts and outsize cargo
Our clients in the automotive industry rely on us to deliver
their critical parts and vehicles regardless of time scales or
complexity of their cargo.
We can offer pre-flight advice on everything
from documentation requirements and
customs formalities to trucking and
warehousing arrangements. We can also
arrange airport representation for your charter,
so aircraft loading and unloading can be
expertly supervised.
Furthermore, we often manage specialist
equipment, including cranes and custom-built
loading structures.
Our capabilities
Some of our most specialist airlifts have
involved moving vehicles, engines and
urgent parts.
We have the expertise to arrange the most
suitable aircraft for your requirements, including:
– Vehicle transportation
– Outsize cargo
– Automotive parts shipments
– Just In Time freight
– Passenger charters
Examples of charters
Our team of experts frequently arrange urgent
charters for production line spares. A recent
example involved the multimodal transport of
wiring looms from Ukraine to the UK. Close
collaboration between road and air teams
and key knowledge of borders and permit
procedures ensured no risk to the client.
Another project of note involved moving
111 vehicles from Middle East to Europe
including cranes, forklifts, trucks, Bobcats,
Caterpillars and tractors. Our experts
assessed loadability of the pieces and advised
on packaging requirements. We flew the
cargo on Antonov AN-124, Ilyushin IL-76 and
Boeing B747 aircraft.
We have developed a reputation in moving
vehicles for heads of state, governments and
sport events. One of our charters utilised two
Boeing B747-200F aircraft, to transport 40
Mercedes S350 Sedans and Toyota Land
Cruiser-V8 models, as part of the entourage
for high-profile overseas guests for a special
event in Africa.
Humanitarian Relief and Disaster Response
Chapman Freeborn coordinates ad hoc and large-scale
humanitarian relief flight operations for the United Nations,
governments, international NGOs and other aid providers.
We pride ourselves on our ability to react
rapidly to emergency situations – including
setting up time-critical flights outside of normal
working hours.
Furthermore, our unrivalled global coverage
allows aid providers to respond to a crisis
anywhere in the world.
Nearly every emergency airlift mission in the
last 40 plus years has involved Chapman
Freeborn chartered aircraft. Major operations
have included supporting the response to the
Asian Tsunami, earthquakes in Pakistan and
Haiti, floods in Burma and humanitarian crises
in Darfur and East Africa.
We can create air bridges when needed –
setting up a strategic freight hub in the region
of crisis and then transporting urgent supplies
directly to where they are required.
We can arrange helicopters to reach remote
mountain villages in the aftermath of an
earthquake and drop food and other aid
directly into famine areas.
Environmental Disasters
Timely response to major environmental
disasters is critical. Chapman Freeborn
is the chosen partner of a number of
organisations who work to contain the
effects of oil spills and control the risk to
marine life and coastlines.
We are ready to operate internationally with
minimal response time and mitigate the
effects of such an incident at the earliest
possible opportunity.
We also work with ship salvors, offshore
operators and other related organisations.
Airdropping
We are a significant supplier to the World
Food Programme and have niche expertise
in the field of airdropping (utilising aircraft
types including the Ilyushin IL-76 and
Antonov AN-12). Other charter companies
do not have this unique in-house expertise.
Rescue Evacuation & Aid Charter Team (REACT)
Chapman Freeborn REACT responds to emergencies
worldwide and assists with evacuations, repatriation,
search/rescue and aid flights.
We specialise in rapid response, including:
– Humanitarian cargo airlifts
– Search and rescue team flights
– Medical emergency repatriation
– Corporate evacuation charters
and repatriation of foreign
nationals or refugees
Our expertise in this area is not limited to
cargo charters. We also assist in passenger
movements, having evacuated NGO
personnel and civilians from war zones
around the world; provided executive charter
services for officials conducting urgent
diplomatic tours and fact-finding missions
and flown search and rescue (SAR) teams
with dogs and specialised equipment into
disaster-stricken regions.
We can also supply flight managers and round
the-clock support both on the ground and via
our London-based flight operations team.
Medical Evacuations
Chapman Freeborn REACT arranges
worldwide medevac and time-critical flights
for patients, corporations, and insurance
providers. Our global network of offices
provides immediate access to an extensive
range of air ambulance operators worldwide.
Our aim is to ensure patients are provided
a first-rate service consistent with our core
values of safety, security and discretion.
Chapman Freeborn OBC
The Global On Board Courier Specialist
Chapman Freeborn OBC offers door-to-door, hand-carry
services for time-critical shipments.
Leading brands and suppliers in the
automotive, financial, energy, pharmaceutical,
medical and fashion sectors trust Chapman
Freeborn on a daily basis with their timecritical
spare parts, samples, prototypes and
important documents.
Our team manages all the details, from
flight bookings to entry requirements and
customs regulations, anywhere in the world.
We’re available 24/7/365, to provide any
assistance you may require, and we provide
the maximum level of security for your
urgent shipments.
Whether it is one envelope or 30 boxes,
the collection and delivery of your goods is
carried out by fully trained and dedicated
couriers, with reduced border delays and
ongoing status reports with immediate
notification on delivery.
A swift and secure transport solution
Traditional express service providers transfer
your shipment through many hands, often
leading to miscommunication, error and loss.
With Chapman Freeborn OBC, your dedicated
courier accompanies your shipment from pick
up to delivery straight to the recipient. Our
fully insured, trained couriers are strategically
located throughout the world – many already
possessing passports and visas for countries
that are traditionally very difficult to access.
What’s more, you can track the progress of
your shipment at any time by using our online
tracking system.

respected specialists in the air transportation of animals.

successfully transported animals all over
the world, including:

Intradco’s reputation for providing secure

first choice for many leading horse shippers,
owners and trainers. They are used to
accommodating unusual species for game
reserves and animal welfare organisations,
where animal well-being during transportation
is paramount. Intradco’s experience includes
coordinating charters for Prix de l’Arc de
Triomphe, Breeders’ Cup and Dubai World

movements including transporting 247 deer
from USA to Russia, and 400 alpacas from
Chile to London.

their occupants.
