Since 03OCT24, Challenge Group has increased its Indian connections with the launch of two flights per week to Delhi (DEL). It already offers three weekly flight connections to Mumbai (BOM), and thus customers now have the choice of using capacity to India on five separate flights per week. The DEL flights operate on Wednesdays and Sundays and are operated by Boeing 767F aircraft; in other words, offering a cargo capacity of around 52 tons per flight. The new destination was added given the region’s strategic importance when it comes to connecting northern India’s industries such as pharmaceuticals, automotive, and textiles, with global markets, and the move is part of the Group’s strategic focus on strengthening international trade routes. “With this expansion, Challenge Group continues to deliver on its growth strategy, providing efficient, reliable logistics solutions for India’s fast-growing market,” the release states, going on to underline the improved “cargo flexibility for global businesses, enabling better supply chain management between India and key regions in Europe, North America, and the Middle Eas.”
Or Zak, Chief Commercial Officer at Challenge Group explained: “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.”
