Chapman Freeborn in joint aid venture to Sudan

In all, the uplifts totalled over 230,000 kilogrammes of aid and relief materials. The project was completed in less than three weeks, and well ahead of the delivery deadline. Because of the strict timescale requirements and the amount of additional planning required, Chapman Freeborn worked closely with in-house flight support company, Wings 24, to arrange additional services. These included complete handling services, in both Dubai and in Juba. To ensure a risk-free operation at both ends of the chain, Chapman Freeborn sent representatives on the flights into Juba.

Thanks to the combined effort of Kintetsu World Express, Chapman Freeborn and all parties involved, the flights were completed as planned and on time. The cargo was delivered safely with no damage or losses, even when the rest of Dubai was experiencing flooding and flight disruptions because of unstable weather conditions. As a postscript, the flights were well received in Juba, making national news headlines in South Sudan.
