Chapman Freeborn Airchartering Appoints New General Manager in Germany
8th August 2005
Chapman Freeborn Airchartering has recently appointed Stefan Kohlmann as
General Manager in Germany, responsible for all charter activity in all
of our German chartering offices, namely Frankfurt, Berlin, Cologne and
Munich.
Stefan
will supervise the ten-strong broking team, a team which also continues
to grow. He has been with the group since 1998, managing our charter operations
in Frankfurt and overseen further steady growth in both the passenger and
cargo charter markets which he has plenty of hands-on experience with.
Interesting cargo charter projects that Stefan has arranged himself include
the transportation of an entire power plant to Africa and AOG parts via
executive jet from Europe to Papeete, Tahiti which arrived in less than
24 hours from the first call!
Prior to joining Chapman Freeborn, Stefan had worked in freight forwarding. He loves to travel and prior to taking on his new responsibilities had just
been on a trekking holiday in Tibet – the perfect place to “chill
out” and prepare for such a challenging role.
Chapman Freeborn Germany Managing Director Russi Batliwala said: “Stefan
has proved himself to be a great team player and leader of the local team
in Frankfurt. I wish him continued success heading up the German charter
broking team”.
