Chapman Freeman hires new Regional CEO for APAC

Global air charter specialist Chapman Freeborn has appointed Andy Hudson as Regional CEO for the Asia Pacific region.

With over 21 years of experience in the aviation industry, Hudson began his career as a charter broker in 2006. He then moved to aviation aircraft acquisitions and aircraft management, which led to him launching his companies, Private Jet Central, PJC Aviation and Down-Route, in 2008, 2012 and 2015, respectively.

In his new role, he will focus on the growth opportunities in the region using his experience of expanding his companies throughout Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Hudson said, “Chapman Freeborn’s offering, combined with its place within Avia Solutions Group, means there is a growth curve to activate in the Asia Pacific region, and I’m very excited about being part of that. We’re going on a journey of developing and implementing our products and services, grasping the opportunities that this relatively untapped market presents.”
