Chapman Freeborn Turns 40

 Chapman Freeborn celebrated 40 years of successful aircraft chartering in May.
 In 1973, Chris Chapman and partner started the business by arranging contracts for Alaska International Air’s L-100 Hercules, from an office in London. Today, it supplies passenger and freight aircraft charters to major corporations, private individuals, aid agencies and governments, supporting 450 employees and over 30 offices globally.
 Its first humanitarian project involved the World Food Programme’s first ever charter programme from Port Sudan across Africa.
 The company’s private jet business is growing and seeing increased activity in the emerging markets of Africa, China and South America.
