Chapman Freeborn's UAE office has reported an impressive start to 2026, surpassing its monthly targets across passenger, cargo, and ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) charter operations in January. This achievement marks a promising beginning for the company's operations in the IMEA (India, Middle East, and Africa) region.
The passenger charter division, under the leadership of Claudia Krajhanzl, achieved 140% of its January target. Meanwhile, the cargo division, led by Gerhard Coetzee, reached 170% of its monthly target, driven by regional logistics demand and intercontinental shipments. The ACMI division, headed by Daniel Huggins, recorded 107% of its target, reflecting ongoing airline demand for short-term capacity.
Linas Dovydenas, President of IMEA at Chapman Freeborn, commented, “The strong start to the year reflects both market demand and the experience of our regional teams.” He added that these results provide confidence in the UAE operations' ability to support evolving charter aviation needs.
Chapman Freeborn anticipates continued dynamic charter demand across the IMEA region throughout 2026, aligning with the company's broader operational goals. The firm expects airlines, logistics operators, and corporate customers to rely on flexible charter capacity to meet changing requirements.
With over 50 years of experience, Chapman Freeborn is part of Avia Solutions Group, the world's largest ACMI provider, offering a wide range of aviation solutions globally
