Chapman Freeborn highlights its last-minute ACMI expertise

PRLog (Press Release) – Jun 30, 2009 – Chapman Freeborn Airchartering recently provided last-minute ACMI cover for Transavia following severe storms at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS) which prompted the low-cost carrier to perform precautionary safety checks on some of its fleet.
The company's "Wings 24" team stepped in to arrange replacement aircraft for several of the Netherlands-based airline’s B737-700 and B737-800 aircraft, so that services to airports across Europe would remain unaffected.
The ACMI specialists again utilised their 24-hour office presence and real-time aircraft ability to source A310, B757-200, B737-800 and B767-300 aircraft to fly passengers to destinations including Rhodes, Tenerife, Haraklion and Olbia.
In total six flights were confirmed with Transavia following the storms, as well as a further sub-charter for a separate European airline. Following the precautionary measures Transavia’s aircraft quickly returned to service and operations resumed as normal.
Chapman Freeborn's Wings 24 team is based at the company’s London Gatwick headquarters and offers round the clock expertise on ACMI and last-minute sub-charter operations worldwide.
Working together with the global office network of the group, the service provides airlines with the reassurance that office based staff are on hand at any time, both locally and at the head office, to deal with unexpected problems or last minute issues.
