Chapman Freeborn America, Inc.
Chapman Freeborn Airmarketing Ltd. was formed in the United Kingdom in 1973 and the Groups Head Office, is still located in its original offices in central London, across the street from Buckingham Palace.
Since then, the Company has played an active role in the aviation market, principally in and around the charter side of the industry. However, over the last ten years, as the charter and scheduled markets have converged, so Chapman Freeborn has developed to cover all aspects of the scheduled market.
In its early days, the Company was responsible for managing a fleet of Hercules aircraft operating under the name of Alaska International Air and in this capacity, was responsible for all areas of the aircraft operations, from crewing through to sales and marketing. The knowledge gained in these years has been used to fashion the subsequent development of the Group.
