Global air charter specialist Chapman Freeborn has launched a dedicated aerospace product designed to support freight forwarders and logistics providers facing increasingly complex aerospace supply chain challenges.
The new offering combines the company’s air charter, time-critical and aerospace logistics capabilities into a single structured service, providing access to Full Charter, Part-Charter, Next Flight Out (NFO) and On-Board Courier (OBC) solutions through a dedicated aerospace team.
Developed in response to ongoing pressures across global aerospace supply chains, Chapman Freeborn said the product is intended to support a broad range of requirements, from urgent aircraft-on-ground (AOG) components to large-scale shipments involving engines, tooling, aircraft parts and other outsize cargo.
According the Chapman Freeborn, a key feature of the launch is a dedicated 24/7/365 AOG desk, providing rapid-response support for critical aerospace shipments and helping customers minimise operational disruption.
James Gilliard, vice president cargo sales Europe, said: “The launch of our dedicated aerospace product reflects Chapman Freeborn continued focus on specialist solutions for sectors where reliability, compliance and speed are essential. By combining our charter expertise, time-critical capabilities and aerospace-specific processes, we are creating a more structured offering that supports customers facing increasingly complex supply chain challenges.”
The service is aimed at freight forwarders and logistics providers, with Chapman Freeborn positioning itself as an extension of customers’ existing service offerings.
The company said the product is also supported by an internal system that identifies spare capacity on existing charter flights, helping provide competitive pricing and routing options to destinations with limited scheduled cargo connectivity.
The launch is further supported by Chapman Freeborn‘s recent JOSCAR certification. The Joint Supply Chain Accreditation Register is widely recognised across the aerospace, defence and security sectors and strengthens the company’s credentials for operating in highly regulated and security-sensitive environments.
Ben Cupidi, aerospace manager – Europe at Chapman Freeborn, said: “Aerospace logistics often comes down to speed, precision and reliability. A delayed component can quickly affect aircraft availability, maintenance schedules or production timelines, so customers need access to the right air solution without delay. This dedicated product has been developed to support freight forwarders and logistics providers with specialist expertise, clear processes and rapid response.”
