• Chapman Freeborn has launched a dedicated aerospace logistics product combining charter, time-critical transport and specialist aerospace support to help freight forwarders manage complex aviation supply-chain requirements.
• The service provides flexible solutions including full charter, part-charter, Next Flight Out and On-Board Courier options, supported by a 24/7/365 AOG desk to move critical components, engines, tooling and oversized cargo quickly.
• The launch responds to growing aerospace supply-chain pressures, with aircraft manufacturers, airlines and maintenance providers facing component shortages, production constraints and increasing demand for fast, reliable logistics solutions.

Chapman Freeborn, the global air charter specialist and part of Avia Solutions Group, has launched a dedicated aerospace logistics product designed to support freight forwarders and logistics providers operating within Europe’s highly demanding aviation supply chain.

The new offering brings together the company’s expertise in air charter, time-critical logistics and aerospace transportation under a single structured service. Customers can access Full Charter, Part-Charter, Next Flight Out (NFO) and On-Board Courier (OBC) solutions, supported by specialist aerospace personnel and a dedicated 24/7/365 aircraft-on-ground (AOG) desk.

The launch comes as aerospace manufacturers, airlines and maintenance organisations continue to face pressure from complex global supply chains, component shortages and tight production schedules. Across Europe, the aerospace sector supports thousands of commercial aircraft, extensive maintenance networks and major manufacturing programmes. Even minor delays in moving critical components can have significant operational and financial consequences, making rapid logistics solutions an essential part of the industry’s infrastructure.

“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,” said James Gilliard vice president cargo sales Europe.

The product is designed to handle everything from urgent small components moved by OBC or NFO through to large aircraft parts, engines, tooling and outsize cargo requiring dedicated charter aircraft. It is further supported by an internal group system that identifies spare capacity on existing charter flights, helping provide competitive pricing and flexible routing options.

Chapman Freeborn’s recent JOSCAR certification strengthens its credentials within the aerospace sector.

“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,” said Ben Cupidi, Aerospace Manager – Europe at Chapman Freeborn.

As part of Avia Solutions Group, Chapman Freeborn can also draw on wider aviation expertise across the group, including ACMI, MRO, pilot training, ground handling and other specialist aviation services.
