Chapman Freeborn Airchartering has assisted a German charity in transporting a consignment of charity parcels destined for children and families living in poverty in Tajikistan, Georgia, Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh.
On behalf of Friedensdorf International, Chapman Freeborn's Berlin office arranged a Tupolev Tu-204-100C aircraft charter to transport 22 tons of non-perishable food packages and other items from Schoenefeld Airport (SXF) to Dushanbe (DYU) in Tajikistan.

It is the 17th year in succession that Friedensdorf has run its successful "Hilfe wird gepackt" (Help is Packed) campaign which aims to give people in need the help they need to survive the bitterly cold winter.
Since 1967, Friedensdorf has been helping innocent children from war torn countries and crisis areas worldwide.
The charity asks people throughout Germany to support the collection and actively help the people in these countries. For more details visit www.friedensdorf.de
Chapman Freeborn has 32 offices in 22 countries worldwide - including locations in North America, South America, Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia. The company coordinated more than 5,000 aircraft charters last year.
