Chapman Freeborn and Swiss WorldCargo have forged a new strategic partnership to further enhance their offerings in the cargo market.
As of July 1 2013, the global aircraft charter specialist is supporting Swiss WorldCargo with all third-party chartering requirements through its worldwide office network.
Already an acknowledged global leader for care-intensive cargo services, the agreement will allow Swiss WorldCargo to expand its specialised product portfolio and offer clients full or part charter solutions using the entire range of cargo aircraft worldwide.
Chapman Freeborn will benefit by working closely with one of the market’s leading airlines which has a network of some 120 destinations in over 80 countries – served by a fleet of 85 aircraft including Airbus A319, A320, A321, A330-300 and A340 types.
The agreement was signed in Zurich on the second week of July and follows the March launch of a strategic cooperation deal between Chapman Freeborn and Lufthansa Cargo, the partner airline of Swiss International Air Lines.
