Charter operation allowed for the 185-strong orchestra to take valuable instruments onboard to ease musicians’ cargo handling concerns

London, UK, 7th October 2024: Chapman Freeborn was selected for the return transport of the 185-strong Prague National Opera to the Savonlinna Opera Festival due to its ability to accommodate musicians’ requests for instruments to be walked onto a Boeing 737-800 aircraft.

“This kind of charter is often challenging given the delicacy of the orchestra’s instruments and, understandably, members want to be next to them at all the times,” said Annika Eerola, Passenger Sales Manager Nordics, Chapman Freeborn.

“Communication with the airport handling agent and the operator is therefore very important.

“We personally escort clients from their arrival at the airport to their departure, so that they know everything will be taken care of, enabling the client to enjoy a stress-free and smooth flight.”

Chapman Freeborn arrange customized charter flights tailored to individual needs and requirements whether the journey is for people, cargo or both.

“Chapman Freeborn provided prompt assistance at every turn, and throughout the process,” said Henna Orava, Producer, Savonlinna Opera Festival.

“I felt confident that they were in control of our order and its details.

“It was easy to make arrangements and commitments were consistently honoured.”

Annika was appointed to lead sales in the Nordic region earlier this year, after 20 years working in the Finnish aviation market, and worked closely with Passenger Charter Broker, Gary Vaughan on this charter.

Chapman Freeborn was recently voted best air charter company at the PA Show Summer Summit and Supplier Awards beating off tough competition, including Air Charter Service, British Airways, Emirates, Flexjet, and Smart Aviation.
