Chapman Freeborn Airchartering sells Air Dispatch CLC to dnata

TO focus on growing its core products Chapman Freeborn Airchartering has sold its specialist centralised load control subsidiary Air Dispatch CLC to air services provider, dnata.

Founded in 2007, Air Dispatch provides centralised load control (CLC) planning services, calculating the weight and balance conditions for aircraft prior to flight. Its other services include unit load device (ULD) asset tracking and the development of flight optimisation software.



The company currently has 200 employees at its operations centres in Prague and Warsaw. Its client portfolio includes Air Berlin, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, LOT, SAS, Qantas and Qatar Airways.



CEO of Chapman Freeborn, Russi Batliwala, said in a statement: "As Air Dispatch continues to rapidly expand and acquire new airline clients, it became increasingly apparent that this highly niche aviation sector was stand-alone from the rest of our global businesses. 



"The sale further strengthens our excellent financial standing and allows us to increase our management focus on growing Chapman Freeborn's core products ?both organically and through actively targeting new strategic acquisitions.
