The annual results come ahead of International Women’s Day and follow a nine percent increase in the number of women employed by the air charterer
London, United Kingdom, 5th March 2025: Chapman Freeborn has today released data showing a 48 percent increase in the number of women employed in management positions over the last year, in addition to a nine percent increase in the number of women in the business.
Investing heavily in recruitment, training, and retention over the last year, Chapman Freeborn grew its total headcount by three percent overall.
“Chapman Freeborn has a culture that prioritises ability and performance over individual characteristics,” said Laura Smith, Senior UK HR Business Partner, Chapman Freeborn.
“We are working towards an even split of men and women, in contrast to the wider aviation industry where the balance is as disparate as 80-20, men to women.
“There is clearly still much more work to do, but at Chapman Freeborn we will continue bolstering and celebrating our colleagues, regardless of their gender identity.”

This follows Chapman Freeborn being awarded Best Full-Service Charter Company at the Aviation Achievement Awards last month and being recognised as Air Charter Broker of the Year for the second year in a row at the Payload Asia Awards.
