Air Partner expands freight services in Asia Pacific

Air Partner, a leader in global private charter and freight aviation solutions, will further expand its team and product range throughout the Asia Pacific region from the Air Partner office based in Marina Bay, Singapore. The Singapore office was established in summer 2019 and, after early success, was a key player for Air Partner in facilitating the freight charter of personal protective equipment (PPE) following the unprecedented demand earlier this year.

Air Partner is slowly seeing increased activity now in non-PPE movements, corresponding to the gradual industrial recovery since COVID-19 restrictions have begun to ease, and is also looking forward towards peak cargo charter season as production lines begin to build up towards Christmas.

The expansion has been overseen by Mike Hill, Air Partner Director of Freight, who joined the business in 2007 to establish the freight department in Germany, and has now relocated to Singapore in order to strengthen Air Partner’s presence in the region with his experience in building freight business in new markets.

“We’ve worked hard during the last 12 months to build trust with our new client base and to export the Air Partner experience and service excellence into the Asia Pacific region. Our dedication to detail has ensured the smooth running of our client’s freight operations during the most challenging times of the PPE peak. Alongside this, we’ve provided solutions for disrupted supply lines in oil and gas, aerospace and e-commerce on some very time-critical projects.”
