Chapman Freeborn UAE tops January 2026 targets across passenger, cargo and ACMI

Chapman Freeborn’s UAE office exceeded its monthly targets across passenger, cargo and ACMI charter operations in January 2026, marking a strong start to the year for the company’s IMEA (India, Middle East and Africa) region.

According to the company, all three operational divisions reported performance above plan, supported by steady regional charter demand, cross-team collaboration, and disciplined execution across operational units. While January results represent only the first month of the year, they indicate stable operational activity across the UAE hub.

The passenger charter division achieved the highest performance, reaching 140% of its January target under the leadership of Claudia Krajhanzl. The cargo division, led by Gerhard Coetzee, reached 170% of its monthly target, driven by a mix of regional logistics demand and intercontinental charter shipments. The ACMI division, headed by Daniel Huggins, recorded 107% of target, reflecting ongoing airline demand for short-term capacity and operational support.

“The strong start to the year reflects both market demand and the experience of our regional teams,” said Linas Dovydenas, President – IMEA at Chapman Freeborn. “Although it is still early in the year, these results give us confidence that our UAE operations are well positioned to support customers as charter aviation needs continue to evolve across the region.”

Chapman Freeborn expects charter demand across the IMEA region to remain dynamic through 2026, supporting the company’s broader operational objectives for the year ahead. Airlines, logistics operators, and corporate customers are expected to continue relying on flexible charter capacity to respond to changing operational requirements.The post Chapman Freeborn UAE tops January 2026 targets across passenger, cargo and ACMI appeared first on AeroTime.
