Chapman Freeborn expands cargo operations in Saudi Arabia

Global charterer Chapman Freeborn has expanded its cargo and passenger operations in Saudi Arabia, having signed an agreement with AJEX Logistics Services, a Middle East-based company specialising in express distribution and shipping solutions.

Under the terms of the agreement the companies will collaborate to offer comprehensive airport ground and cargo handling, and management of special cargo projects, combining AJEX’ regional strengths with Chapman Freeborn’s extensive global network.

The move comes as a strategic response to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 programme. which aims to increase air freight capacity to 4.5 million tons per year. Launched in 2016, Saudi Vision 2030, is an ambitious plan to diversify the Saudi economy and reduce its dependence on hydrocarbons.

“This collaboration aligns with our mission to provide world-class aviation services and reflects our dedication to supporting the Kingdom’s Vision 2030,” said Gerhard Coetzee, Vice President Cargo at Chapman Freeborn. “Together, we will drive innovation and excellence in aviation and cargo operations, ensuring that our clients benefit from the best possible service.”

Chapman Freeborn’s increased service offering mirrors its commitment to the region, following significant investment in personnel throughout the last two years, including the appointment of Linas Dovydenas as President of IMEA (India, Middle East and Africa) in November.  Source: Chapman Freeborn
