Chapman Freeborn’s UAE office has recorded a strong start to the year, reporting solid growth in cargo charter activity across key regional and international trade lanes.
Operating from the United Arab Emirates, the broker has seen heightened demand for time-critical and project cargo movements, particularly supporting sectors such as oil and gas, automotive, pharmaceuticals, and e-commerce. Increased charter requirements across the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia have contributed to improved load factors and higher aircraft utilization in the opening months.
Company representatives noted that supply chain volatility and capacity constraints in certain markets have continued to drive interest in bespoke air charter solutions. The UAE office has responded by leveraging its global network to secure suitable freighter capacity and ensure reliable uplift for clients with urgent or oversized shipments.
The performance reflects the broader resilience of the UAE’s logistics sector, supported by its strategic geographic location and strong multimodal infrastructure. With demand momentum expected to continue, Chapman Freeborn’s regional team remains focused on expanding partnerships and enhancing service flexibility to meet evolving customer needs.
The positive start underscores the company’s growing footprint in the Middle East and reinforces its position as a key player in the global air charter market.
