Chapman Freeborn organises first ever B777F charter from Budapest

Chapman Freeborn has successfully coordinated a Boeing B777F cargo charter to transport a 25-ton load from Hungary to Bangladesh, on behalf of logistics partner NEC Logistics, with the operation marking the first ever Boeing B777F charter out of Budapest Airport.

The 25-ton consignment - made up of satellite dishes – was successfully delivered to Shahjahal International Airport (DAC) where it will be used to expand mobile telephony networks in Bangladesh.

Owing to the large volume of the consignment, the global air charter specialist carried out a feasibility analysis which identified the B777F as the most economical solution for transportation.

Chapman Freeborn is well accustomed to coordinating inaugural flights and whilst this is a part of our daily business, premieres of this kind are always a memorable event.”
