August 10, 2021: Chapman Freeborn Germany transported over 204 tonnes of cargo from Germany to Namibia to aid in the fight against Covid-19 over the course of a week.

The cargo, which comprised of vital supplies including face masks, gowns and gloves, was transported in an A340 passenger aircraft that had its seats removed to be used as a freighter.

Charter broker Jan Korber, explained, “During summer holiday season in Germany most airports are crowded and understaffed. It was a big challenge to find an airport that was able to handle all of the flights in a row. Paderborn Lippstadt Airport (PAD) was able to support this and meet all our expectations.”

Chapman Freeborn staff supervised the handling at Paderborn, and even helped to stack over 23,000 boxes onboard.
