Chapman Freeborn Europe launches dedicated aerospace product to support time-critical supply chains

Chapman Freeborn Europe has introduced a dedicated aerospace product designed to centralise its air charter, time-critical logistics and aerospace support capabilities into a single structured solution for freight forwarders and logistics providers.The launch comes amid ongoing pressure across global aerospace supply chains, where speed and availability remain critical. The new offering gives customers access to Full Charter, Part-Charter, Next Flight Out (NFO) and On-Board Courier (OBC) services, all supported by dedicated aerospace specialists.A 24/7/365 AOG desk is a key element of the service that is intended to respond rapidly to aircraft-on-ground situations and other time-sensitive aerospace transport needs. The intent is to enable immediate coordination for time-sensitive shipments, where delays can have a direct impact on aircraft operations, maintenance schedules or production timelines.The product is designed to handle a broad range of aerospace logistics requirements, from small critical components moved via OBC or NFO to larger, more complex shipments such as aircraft engines, tooling and oversized parts requiring dedicated charter capacity. It is positioned primarily as a support tool for freight forwarders and logistics providers, allowing Chapman Freeborn to act as an extension of their own service offerings.The solution is also reinforced by an internal group system that identifies spare capacity on existing charter operations, enabling more competitive pricing and improved routing options, particularly on lanes with limited regular cargo availability.Further strengthening the launch is Chapman Freeborn’s recent JOSCAR certification, a recognised accreditation within the aerospace, defence and security sectors. This certification underlines the company’s compliance standards and its ability to operate within highly regulated and security-sensitive supply chains.Commenting on the launch, Ben Cupidi, Aerospace Manager – Europe at Chapman Freeborn, highlighted the importance of responsiveness in the sector, stating that aerospace logistics “often comes down to speed, precision and reliability,” where even a minor delay can significantly affect operational continuity.
