Global air charter specialist Chapman Freeborn has transported a 20-metre-long, 700-kg shipment of welded tubes for industrial heat exchangers from Liege Airport (LGG) to Zhengzhou (CGO) on a Boeing 747-400F part-charter flight.

The delicate cargo was nose-loaded using cranes and high loaders, with ground handling support from Challenge Group. Despite a last-minute destination change from Shanghai to Zhengzhou, Chapman Freeborn completed the operation on time, showcasing its expertise in managing complex oversized freight.
