International air cargo conglomerate, Challenge Group, has announced a new addition to its fleet – a Boeing 747-400 production freighter registered under its Belgian AOC.
With the acquisition, Challenge Group’s fleet now consists of 10 state-of-the-art aircraft, including six Boeing 747-400F and four Boeing 767-300Fs, trebling its fleet in less than three years.
Challenge Group says the new aircraft will significantly enhance its capacity and frequency, addressing rising demand for perishable transportation out of Africa, e-commerce shipments from China, and transatlantic trade.
Predominantly serving the e-commerce sector from China, the Boeing 747-400F will also support diverse industries and verticals with its versatile cargo capabilities.
Or Zak, chief commercial officer at Challenge Group, said: “The addition of the Boeing 747-400F is a pivotal step in Challenge Group’s fleet strategy. It reinforces our ability to respond to the evolving demands of the air freight capacity while expanding our capability to serve new markets. This aircraft exemplifies our commitment to operational flexibility and providing additional solutions for our customers.”
