Award-winning air cargo charter broker Chapman Freeborn has introduced a new scheduled service in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Singapore, Singapore, July 03, 2013 --(PR.com)-- The world’s leading air cargo charter broker, Chapman Freeborn, has launched a number of scheduled air cargo services to further unlock the continent’s potential for its international client base.

Chapman Freeborn’s team in Africa has introduced a new scheduled service from Johannesburg (JNB) to Lubumbashi (FBM) and Kinshasa (FIH) in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

From the 20th June 2013, the dedicated schedule will depart every Thursday from Johannesburg in a DC8-73F aircraft that has a payload of 40 tons. This is the latest scheduled freighter service set up by Chapman Freeborn Africa.
