Chapman Freeborn delivers lifesaving aid to Turkey and Syria

Chapman Freeborn has recently chartered numerous flights from across the world to deliver humanitarian aid to Turkey and Syria following the 7.8 magnitude earthquake on the 6th and more recently 20th of February 2023.

A death toll of over 47,000 is estimated, with thousands more people missing and millions displaced. Moreover, many years of civil war have also rendered delivering cargo to Syria very challenging.

The team has utilized their expertise and experience to gain the necessary land permits, flyover rights, and approvals from the Syrian Civilian Aviation Authority and the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, resulting in thousands of tonnes of aid reaching the population.

Chapman Freeborn’s humanitarian team has worked around the clock to source and secure aircraft and successfully chartered aid flights to the affected regions from the USA, UAE, Germany, Spain, Belgium, India, Saudi Arabia, Denmark, Singapore, and the Philippines.

Neil Dursley, Group CCO, commented, “The tragic situation in Turkey and Syria is heart-breaking. The Chapman Freeborn Emergency Response Team was activated immediately upon learning of the initial huge earthquake; I was traveling in Dubai at the time and met with Giuseppe Saba, CEO of International Humanitarian City to discuss the situation and how we could assist."

Chapman Freeborn has been an integral part of the humanitarian efforts for every major global crisis over the past 50 years, providing solutions for airlifts, airdropping, search and rescue flights, evacuations, and repatriations.
