Chapman Freeborn performs emergency charters
Following Hurricane Melissa's devastation in Jamaica, Chapman Freeborn rapidly mobilised emergency airlift operations within hours of landfall. The company coordinated with regional operators and utilised their 24/7 UK operations team to ensure swift response, deploying assets such as ERJ-145 jets, Gulfstream G-IV, Antonov AN-12 and a heavy-lift S-61 helicopter from Michigan to support relief efforts.
These aircraft transported vital personnel, communications equipment and aid supplies to Jamaica, working closely with NGOs like World Central Kitchen to deliver crucial aid. Disaster response operations required rapid, flexible deployment into challenging environments, balancing operational needs with regulatory compliance. Chapman Freeborn's ability to adapt quickly and provide diverse aircraft helped deliver critical impact with minimal delays, demonstrating their essential role in humanitarian emergencies.
