Chapman Freeborn has expanded its passenger operations in Saudi Arabia, having signed an agreement with AJEX Logistics Services, a Middle East-based company specializing in airport passenger services. The move by the global charterer marks a strategic response to Saudi Arabia’s “Vision 2030” program, which aims to increase annual passenger numbers to 330 million, expanding connectivity to over 250 destinations from 29 airports.
“This collaboration aligns with our mission to provide world-class aviation services and reflects our dedication to supporting the Kingdom’s Vision 2030,” said Gerhard Coetzee, vice president, cargo, at Chapman Freeborn. “Together, we will drive innovation and excellence in aviation and passenger operations, ensuring that our clients benefit from the best possible service,” he added.
Chapman Freeborn’s increased service offering mirrors its commitment to the region after reporting 100 percent growth in its passenger footprint across the Middle East in 2024, and significant investment in personnel over the past two years.
“By combining our regional strengths with Chapman Freeborn’s extensive global network, we are committed to delivering enhanced aviation solutions that support the Kingdom’s ambitious growth objectives,” said Mohammed Albayati, CEO of AJEX Logistics Services.
Launched in 2016, “Saudi Vision 2030” is an ambitious plan to diversify the Saudi economy and reduce its dependence on hydrocarbons. Chapman Freeborn has been providing air charter solutions for passenger and air cargo movements since 1973.
