Challenge Group launches flights to Delhi, expands India operations

Challenge Group announced the expansion of its operations in India with the introduction of two weekly flights to Delhi, starting October 3, 2024. This brings the Group’s total to five weekly flights into India, including three into Mumbai, says an official release.

“The new service will operate on Wednesdays and Sundays using Challenge Group’s growing fleet of Boeing 767F aircraft, with a capacity of approximately 52 tonnes each.”

Or Zak, Chief Commercial Officer, Challenge Group says: “Delhi is a vital hub for global trade, and our new routes reflect our commitment to supporting India’s growth as a key player in the world economy. These flights will boost connectivity for essential industries and provide much-needed capacity for temperature controlled, time-sensitive, hi-tech shipments, along with other complex verticals.”

Delhi’s strategic importance in connecting northern India’s industries such as pharmaceuticals, automotive and textiles with global markets underscores the Group’s focus on strengthening international trade routes, the release added.

“The new service increases cargo flexibility for global businesses, enabling better supply chain management between India and key regions in Europe, North America and the Middle East.”

Challenge Group operates a fleet of Boeing 747 and 767 freighters and employs over 1,000 people across three airlines, handling over 500,000 tonnes of cargo annually.
