Chapman Freeborn is always ready provide a solid solution and a helping hand for our customers as they move towards their future growth. The industry is fast-paced, and our global cargo team work with an extremely wide variety of cargo.
“In the same week, we can have nuts and bolts going on a Cessna from Indianapolis, three 747s filled with raw, natural materials coming from Asia and three AN-124s loaded with heavy machinery going from Australia to Brazil. The global variety of the cargo is incredible,“ said Ben Hampton, Director Cargo Sales for Chapman Freeborn in the Americas.
“Sometimes a client cannot be referenced, but this was the most fun project so far”, said Ana Bocchini, Cargo Broker, Americas. She continued, “If this cargo air charter was a pizza, it would be a large pie with everything and extra cheese!”
The request for a quote came in through our website on a Monday, and just a few days later on the Thursday, Chapman Freeborn had a signed contract with a popular gaming company.
The following Monday, three 747 cargo aircraft were filled to the brim with merchandise featuring some beloved little characters. All three planes departed Los Angeles International Airport for Atlanta, New York and Chicago to deliver in time for the retail stores’ Black Friday sales.
This air cargo charter included both domestic and international flights, and involved coordination with trucks, ocean freight, mobilizations, and full and part freight air charters within North America and beyond. It required skill in materials management and distribution for the region, including customs compliance, to meet both US and Canadian regulations.
Chapman Freeborn’s brokers are experienced in all types of cargo and their individual requirements, whether it’s natural organic materials or chemical compounds being shipped to manufacturers so they can be made into auto parts.
For example, Chapman Freeborn has delivered large pieces of machinery used for constructing assembly lines to a new manufacturing facility in the US. There are also humanitarian lifts following hurricanes or natural disasters, during which the cargo comprises blankets, medicines, potable water and survival necessities.
During PPE shortages, Chapman Freeborn delivered face masks and gloves for frontline responders.
Chapman Freeborn is proud to have a hand in helping the world move forward.
