Global air charter specialist Chapman Freeborn has expanded its cargo operations in Saudi Arabia having signed an agreement with AJEX Logistics Services, a Middle East-based company specialising in express distribution and shipping solutions.
Chapman Freeborn says the partnership comes as a strategic response to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 programme which aims to increase air freight capacity to 4.5 million tonnes per year.
Gerhard Coetzee, vice president of cargo at Chapman Freeborn, said: “This collaboration aligns with our mission to provide world-class aviation services and reflects our dedication to supporting the Kingdom’s Vision 2030. Together, we will drive innovation and excellence in aviation and cargo operations, ensuring that our clients benefit from the best possible service.”
Chapman Freeborn’s increased service offering mirrors its commitment to the region, following significant investment in personnel throughout the last two years, including the appointment of Linas Dovydenas as president of India, Middle East and Africa (IMEA) in November 2024.
Under the terms of the agreement, the companies will collaborate to offer comprehensive airport ground and cargo handling, and management of special cargo projects.
Mohammed Albayati, chief executive of AJEX Logistics Services, said: “By combining our regional strengths with Chapman Freeborn’s extensive global network, we are committed to delivering enhanced aviation and cargo solutions that support the Kingdom’s ambitious growth objectives.”
