March 10 - Chapman Freeborn Airchartering and RUS Aviation have signed an exclusive cargo sales agreement, which aims to provide clients with airfreight solutions from Hong Kong to the Middle East and surrounding markets.
The deal will see Chapman Freeborn sell per-kilo shipments from Hong Kong to the UAE, with onward connections via RUS Aviation's regional network under the same air waybill.
Utilising its fleet of A300 and IL-76 freighter aircraft, RUS Aviation operates regular cargo services to destinations not so well served by other scheduled carriers - including Afghanistan, Djibouti, Iraq, and Libya.
The new service is being driven by increased demand to new markets from Hong Kong, said Chapman Freeborn, which has offices in Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore, and specialises in charter movements of heavy and outsize units, as well as time-critical cargo.
