In his new role, Porteous will focus on developing Chapman Freeborn’s cargo operations in Canada, expanding its customer base, and identifying new opportunities across key market segments. He will work closely with clients to deliver tailored charter solutions while building long-term partnerships across the region.

With more than 15 years of experience in air cargo and charter operations, Porteous brings deep expertise in freighter operations, commercial strategy, and market development.
