Chapman Freeborn Turkey spreads its wings with office move
10th October 2008
Chapman Freeborn’s new offices close to Ataturk International Airport (IST) have proved to be a hit with the avian community as well as the aviation industry.
While brokers in the company’s Turkish office continued to spread their wings they also proved ready for anything when they refused to get into a flap over an unexpected visitor to their new premises.
Group chairman Chris Chapman was happy to confirm that the feathered forager, a pure white dove, will not be joining the team.
He said:
“We are always looking for innovative charter solutions, but for low cost flying this one would have quite literally taken the bird seed.
“We remain committed to being top of the pecking order, and I’m as delighted with our new location as our feathered friend.”
Picture: “Any jobs going? I’ve got an astounding seed-V.”
Picture: “Nest-cafe while you’re fixing that flight?”
