2025/07/11/ | Press Release
The Greater China region Chengdu team of Chapman Freeborn, a leading aircraft
charter and aviation support company, finished 2025 H1 with one challenging
delivery. In June 2025, the team delivered a critical V2500 engine and its mounting
bracket from Hong Kong to Miami. The timely delivery helped the client solve a
costly Aircraft on Ground (AOG) situation.
The task presented itself when the client – a well-known international logistics company
– contacted the Chapman Freeborn team in the Greater China Region. The airline was
forced to ground one of its aircraft at Miami International Airport (MIA) due to engine
failure and required a spare engine to be delivered to MIA. The quickest available
replacement was more than 14000 kilometers away – in Hong Kong.
Within just a few hours of the initial request, the client was presented with several
transport solutions. The task was further complicated by several last-minute disruptions
and additional requirements.
The delivery faced additional challenges when the client requested the shipment port to
be changed, and tracking devices failed to meet strict airline requirements. The team
swiftly coordinated with partners and rebooked the cargo in time, securing new capacity
at a competitive rate despite the added constraints.
The Chengdu operation team emphasizes that despite the complexity of the task, they
still successfully ensured full compliance with all procedures concerning documentation,
packaging, and Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR).
Chapman Freeborn has been operating in the Greater China region since 2004. In
addition to presence in Chengdu, it has four more offices in the region, providing a
diverse service portfolio encompassing air cargo charter, international freight
forwarding, aircraft leasing, live animal transport, passenger charter, and end-to-end
specialist delivery services.
The Greater China team works closely with Magma Aviation’s fleet and leverages an
extensive global network to deliver tailored and efficient air transport solutions for
partners across the Asia-Pacific region.
