India, 22nd January 2026:
Chapman Freeborn has announced the appointment of Tyler Porteous as Vice President of Cargo – Canada, reinforcing its cargo charter capabilities in the region and strengthening its support for local customers.
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. He previously worked for one of the world’s largest freighter operators, where he was responsible for building and growing the charter division.
“I’ve spent my career in the Canadian market, so I understand the customers, the demand patterns, and the industries that rely on air cargo,” says Porteous. “Chapman Freeborn has a strong global reputation, and I see real potential to grow the brand here by focusing on specific segments that haven’t been fully explored yet.”
“Tyler’s experience, market knowledge, and close relationships with customers in Canada make him a strong addition to our team,” says Jack Burt, Senior Vice President of Cargo at Chapman Freeborn Americas. “His appointment supports our broader growth across the Americas, while ensuring we remain highly responsive to local market needs.”
The move forms part of Chapman Freeborn’s wider development across the Americas, where the company continues to invest in both cargo and passenger charter services, strengthening its footprint and expanding its regional expertise.
