Following a strategic restructure of its cargo operations team, 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 offering across the continent.
 
“France is a major market in our industry, and I am extremely proud to launch our presence here,” said James Edwards, Vice President Passenger – Europe, Chapman Freeborn.
 
“Our growth in Europe over the past two years has been exceptional, and with demand for passenger services steadily increasing, I look forward to continuing our success in France.”
 
Under the plans, Tiphanie Marie becomes Passenger Sales Manager and Wajdi Zarra, Senior Passenger Charter Broker, both reporting into Edwards.
 
Yoann Maugran becomes Cargo Sales Manager, reporting into James Gilliard, Vice President Cargo Sales – Europe.
 
These new appointments give Chapman Freeborn a presence in Paris and the South of France.
 
Chapman Freeborn appointed Bernardo Nunes as Chief Operating Officer last November as part of a long-term strategy targeting sustainable growth.
