On 13 October, the leading global air charter specialist and part of Avia Solutions Group, Chapman Freeborn, officially opened a new office in Zhengzhou – currently its sixth in China, alongside Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Chengdu, and Shenzhen.
The new office has been opened following the recruitment of its team in September, and builds upon Chapman Freeborn’s efforts to gain a secure foothold in China, which dates back all the way to 2004. “The new team in Zhengzhou will help us further develop our market resources across the country, enhance regional service capabilities, and boost response times. As a result, we’ll be able to deliver even more professional, timely, and efficient air cargo solutions to our clients there,” said Allen Liu, President – Greater China, Chapman Freeborn.
Zhengzhou was chosen due to its strategic location at the very heart of China, and its proximity to Xinzheng International Airport, which has a strong track record in handling outsized, irregular, and heavy-lift cargo, as well as standard e-commerce parcels and express shipments. An additional factor behind the decision was the office building’s close proximity to Zhengzhou East Railway Station and key cargo operators like SF Express and Cargolux.
The team will be guided by Ms. Huizi Zhao (Bella Zhao), who has recently joined Chapman Freeborn as the company’s manager for Central Greater China. Her responsibilities involve leading Chapman Freeborn’s charter and freight forwarding operations, driving commercial development, and ensuring high-quality delivery across the region. “I am honored to join Chapman Freeborn to leverage the Group’s domestic and international resources to lead the Zhengzhou team with determination. By partnering closely with our five regional teams, we’ll be able to expand our commercial footprint, as well as ensure professional and efficient project delivery, bringing solutions and services to clients with genuine care,” Ms. Zhao commented.
Under her leadership, the team will be focusing on expanding the Group’s partner network across Central China and providing a broader set of services to its clients in Greater China.
