Chapman Freeborn is the first and only charter broker integrated with WebCargo, joining freight forwarding and airline partners on the platform including Emirates SkyCargo, Etihad Cargo, Qatar Airways Cargo, China Southern and American Airlines.
Manel Galindo, CEO of WebCargo, adds, “The addition of Chapman Freeborn’s capacity into WebCargo’s platform means freight forwarders in some 10,000 offices worldwide will gain instant access to their vast and unparalleled global network, covering routes such as Liège to Chicago, Dubai and Singapore. Our combined strengths will provide competitive rates and a seamless booking and payment experience for forwarders who already conduct thousands of bookings every day on our platform.”
The integration will commence in early October and the Chapman Freeborn capacity available via WebCargo will continue to expand in the future.
