Chapman Freeborn successfully completed the time-sensitive delivery of a CFM56-7B engine stand to Johannesburg at the end of April in collaboration with EngineStands.com, a global MRO service provider based in Vilnius, Lithuania. The equipment owned by EngineStands.com was transported from a warehouse to the customer’s desired location in Johannesburg.
The logistics of this delivery required a fast and reliable solution, as the cargo needed to arrive in Johannesburg within a tight timeframe. Chapman Freeborn organized the transport and ensured that suitable capacities for air freight were available to support the timely movement of the equipment.
EngineStands.com provided the required engine stand, while Chapman Freeborn coordinated the air freight solution. This project illustrates how companies within the Avia Solutions Group can efficiently respond to customer demands by combining specialized aviation equipment with freight expertise.
Efficient collaboration in focus
Ben Cupidi, Aerospace Manager Europe at Chapman Freeborn, stated: “This delivery is a strong example of how collaboration within the Avia Solutions Group enables us to respond quickly to customer requirements. By partnering with EngineStands.com, we were able to support this time-sensitive delivery with a fast and cost-effective solution.”
Hanna Lavinskaja, Head of EngineStands.com, added: “The availability of the right engine stand is just one part of the support for the customer. In this case, the close collaboration with Chapman Freeborn helped ensure that the equipment could be transported quickly and reliably to Johannesburg, highlighting the value of teamwork.”
The successful delivery underscores how integrated expertise within the Avia Solutions Group can assist customers with time-sensitive requirements in aviation logistics.
