Chapman Freeborn is highlighting its role in the humanitarian and emergency relief segment.

It was an exhibitor at the 17th Global Humanitarian Aviation Conference.

The World Food Program organizes the event.

The conference took place in Istanbul earlier this month.

Chapman Freeborn has been “a close partner of the WFP for decades, chartering multiple missions for the agency.”

COO Bernardo Nunes said, “Our work in this sector has evolved from ad hoc support to strategic-level partnerships that enable coordinated, scalable humanitarian missions worldwide. GHAC is a vital platform for collaboration and innovation in humanitarian aviation, and our strong presence at the event allowed us to engage with key stakeholders and explore new ways to enhance emergency response and aid delivery.”

Ekaterina Andreeva added, “One of our very first charters was a humanitarian mission, and this vertical remains one of the most important for our company.”

She continued, “We are long-term supporters of the WFP and other humanitarian agencies.”

The Chapman Freeborn Group was established in the UK in 1973.

The company has offices worldwide, including North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.

You may know it from its presence with private jet charters.

In the cargo market, it specializes in the charter and leasing of aircraft for a wide range of customers, including freight forwarders, multinational corporations, governments, humanitarian agencies, and various industries.

It is part of the Avia Solutions Group.
