Chapman Freeborn Operations Expand Further in the CEER and are Supported
By Appointment of New Regional Cargo Marketing Manager
4th January 2005
Chapman Freeborn Airmarketing has been extremely successful in the last
year with the addition of several new customers for our Services in the
CEER countries and we have made new appointments in the region to keep the
ball rolling.
Jindrich Hudecek joined the team on 1st November from CSA Czech Airlines
with the special remit of marketing our Cargo GSA services throughout the
Central and Eastern European Region. Reporting to Regional Director, Csaba
Balint, Jindrich says he his looking forward to putting his years of experience
as a satisfied customer of Chapman Freeborn to good use in helping market
our services to further potential airline customers in this fast-growing
region.
This year, significant growth in the Prague and Budapest offices’ have
included the provision of airport ticketing services for Swiss International
Airlines at both BUD and PRG; providing station management services for
new airline clients; we have been nominated as Cargo GSA and station supervisor
for TAP Air Portugal for Hungary & Czech Republic for three weekly flights
from Lisbon to both Prague and Budapest. Chapman Freeborn has been nominated
as Passenger GSA for TAP for Hungary as well.
CEER Regional Director, Csaba Balint comments:"this has been another great
year where we have consolidated our activities as both passenger and cargo
GSA representatives for many flag carriers. We look forward to adding still
more to our portfolio in the future with the benefit of Jindrich’s experience
in the field".
The Budapest office also recently arranged operation assistance for a series
of cargo charters on relief on behalf of Norwegian Church Aid to Nyala,
Sudan and now, like the rest of the CF Network, is heavily involved in organizing
relief to Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Thailand as part of the post-tsunami
aid effort.
