Chapman Freeborn has strengthened its European footprint with the launch of a new operations base in France, marking another step in its aggressive expansion strategy.
This move follows a series of strategic developments, including a restructured cargo operations team, the appointment of a new general sales agent in Eastern Europe, and the launch of a European music and entertainment division. The new French base further enhances the company’s reach 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 at 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.”
As part of the expansion, Chapman Freeborn has appointed Tiphanie Marie as Passenger Sales Manager and Wajdi Zarra as Senior Passenger Charter Broker, both reporting to Edwards. Meanwhile, Yoann Maugran takes on the role of Cargo Sales Manager, reporting to James Gilliard, Vice President Cargo Sales – Europe. These appointments establish the company’s presence in both Paris and the South of France.
The expansion aligns with Chapman Freeborn’s broader strategy for sustainable growth and enhanced leadership. Last November, the company appointed Bernardo Nunes as Chief Operating Officer, reinforcing its commitment to strengthening cultural, strategic, and operational leadership across its global operations.
