CHAPMAN FREEBORN TO SET NEW STANDARDS

New business take off for Wings 24

The Chapman Freeborn Group has launched Wings 24 Ltd - a comprehensive resource for airlines seeking fast, reliable ACMI sub-charter and outsourced flight support, including permits and aircraft fuelling services. The global aviation specialist has combined its 24-hour ACMI division and its former operations subsidiary, Paragon Global Flight Support, to form one new company which will assist with passenger and cargo flight operations worldwide.
The 13-strong Wings 24 team are all professional ACMI and operations experts drawn from a variety of airline and aviation backgrounds.

Darren Banham, a member of the Wings 24 management team, said:

“The message coming to us from airlines of all sizes was thatthey wanted a reliable, cost-effective one-stop shop for global flight support, so we set about forming Wings 24 as a specialist company that covered all the bases. “The feedback so far has been overwhelmingly positive, with clients finding that a flexible approach with a single point of contact is proving both time effective and less stressful.” Peter Walton has been appointed general manager of Wings 24 Ltd, with responsibility for day-to-day oversight and strategic development of the Gatwick-based business. Peter, who joined the Chapman Freeborn Group in 1995, brings more than 30 years of aviation industry experience to the role. He has worked in a variety of managerial and operational positions and enjoyed successful spells at Air Dispatch International and, most recently, as general manager of Paragon Global Flight Support.
