Chapman Freeborn reports 200% growth in turover year on year to date

Strategic investment in key personnel throughout Europe and Asia delivers strong growth for global air charterer

Chapman Freeborn Passenger UK team has reported significant year on year growth to date, which it expects to continue throughout 2024, following a major 2023 recruitment drive.

The company directed key investment in its corporate, sports, and live entertainment divisions with a particular focus on music concerts.

“Having just celebrated our 50th year, we have plenty of experience from which to draw upon, and our year-to-date performance has fully vindicated our decision to heavily invest in recruitment,” said Andy Hutchinson, Director of Passenger Charter UK.

“We expect growth to remain high through the year as the tour operators begin to plan for 2025, the cruise, and sports sectors begin to open up as we move into the summer months, and corporate travel gears up soon after. Full-time-equivalent (FTE) is key at Chapman Freeborn and we always look to strengthen the team if the right person is available.”

Chapman Freeborn recently announced the internal promotion of Chloe Phelps to head up its live music division alongside music logistics’ long-term expert Paul Kindred, Senior Business Development Manager - Music & Entertainment.

Earlier this year the company launched its Jet Card Membership scheme which grants members access to over 2,500 aircraft worldwide.

“This membership is designed for those who frequently charter private jets, perfect for those in the Corporate sector, amongst others,” said James Edwards, Vice President Passenger Charter Europe. “The membership has many benefits such as unlimited jet access, complimentary upgrades, catering, and many more.”
