Chapman Freeborn strengthens European presence with new Baltic charters team

Global charter brokerage Chapman Freeborn has today opened its new operations base in Lithuania in response to increased demand from Eastern Europe and the Baltics.

Following a strategic restructure of its European operations, appointment of a new general sales agent in Eastern Europe, and a new European music and entertainment division, the move further extends Chapman Freeborn's service offering across the continent.

“Demand for government and ad hoc passenger charters across the Baltic region and Eastern Europe has continued to grow steadily over the last year,” said James Edwards, vice president passenger, Europe, Chapman Freeborn. “This is a proven market with vast amounts of potential, and I look forward to working closely with our new team in Lithuania as we continue to expand our European network.”

Chapman Freeborn will leverage support from parent company, the Avia Solutions Group, headquartered in Vilnius, and partner companies in the group.

This announcement follows the appointment of Francisco Serrano as director of passenger charters for Iberia last month as part of Chapman Freeborn's ongoing European expansion.
