Challenge Group has launched its inaugural flights to Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, marking the company’s first destination in Africa.
Flights will operate twice weekly, on Mondays and Thursdays, deploying a B767 freighter aircraft with a capacity of 52 tonnes and volume of 400 cubic meters.
The new service aims to facilitate global trade by linking Nairobi, a key market for perishable goods, with Challenge Group’s operational expertise at Liege Airport.
Challenge Group says the alignment with the airport’s overall strategy to enhance its capabilities for perishable cargo solidifies the company’s position as a key enabler of global trade.
Or Zak, chief commercial officer at Challenge Group, said: “Our decision to launch flights to Nairobi is driven by our customer-centric approach.
“With the increasing demand for airfreight solutions out of Africa, we are delighted to offer our clients dependable access to this emerging market.
“Additionally, by linking Nairobi to our hub in Liege, we are strengthening Liege’s role as a competitive and well-equipped hub for handling and distributing perishable cargo.”
