Zurich, Switzerland – London, UK: Swiss WorldCargo, the air cargo division of Swiss
International Air Lines, and Chapman Freeborn Airchartering, today announced that
they have forged a new strategic partnership to further enhance their offerings in the
cargo market.

As of July 1 2013, the global aircraft charter specialist is supporting Swiss WorldCargo with
all third-party chartering requirements through its worldwide office network.

Already an acknowledged global leader for care-intensive cargo services, the agreement will
allow Swiss WorldCargo to expand its specialized product portfolio and offer clients full or
part charter solutions using the entire range of cargo aircraft worldwide.

Swiss International Air Lines.

“We’re delighted to sign this partnership agreement with Swiss WorldCargo and we welcome

markets and to offer a more complete solution set, and we’re convinced that in Chapman
Freeborn we have found the perfect partner for charter and other related services,”
