Chapman Freeborn partners with AIA Cargo

VonLOGISTIK express Presseservice

Chapman Freeborn and Airbridge International Agencies, (AIA), Cargo, have partnered to strengthen their offerings in Ireland and prepare for Brexit.

The partnership comes after Brexit negotiations remain unresolved, and businesses across the UK and Ireland prepare for potential supply chain issues.

The agreement will ensure customers have greater access to full charter, part charter, and board courier solutions. As a result, Chapman Freeborn is securing cargo capacity on freighters from small turboprops up to wide-body freighters – including a fleet of B747-400F aircraft.

Pierre van der Stichele, group cargo operations director at Chapman Freeborn, said: ”The cargo industry in Ireland is a close-knit community, and AIA’s local expertise and relationships make this the perfect fit. Our two companies have distinct areas of expertise but a shared focus on innovative cargo solutions and excellent customer service.”
