Challenge Group launches new flights to Delhi, expanding Indian operations

Sep 30, 2024

Challenge Group has 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. 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 tons each.

“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,” said Or Zak, Chief Commercial Officer at Challenge Group. “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 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.

With this expansion, Challenge Group continues to deliver on its growth strategy, providing efficient, reliable logistics solutions for India’s fast-growing market.
