Challenge Group has completed its 767-conversion program with the deployment of two 767-300 freighters.
The newly added freighters bring the total number of 767-300BDSF aircraft in the group’s fleet to four. Each aircraft has a cargo capacity of approximately 52 tons and 400 cubic meters, designed for air cargo operations.
Enhancements on the aircraft include reinforced floors, wide cargo doors for large shipments, and optimized fuel efficiency, enabling them to operate on both short and medium-haul routes. This additional capacity has enabled the launch of a new service to Delhi in early October, in addition to the three existing weekly frequencies to Mumbai.
“The introduction of these two B767-300 freighters is a significant step forward in Challenge Group's strategic expansion,” said Or Zak, chief commercial officer.
Zak continued: “Their versatility and fuel efficiency empower us to increase flight frequencies, enhance flexibility for charter operations, and explore new market opportunities. These aircraft will help meet the rising demand for complex verticals and e-commerce, reinforcing Challenge Group's leadership in the air cargo industry.”
The group now operates a total of ten aircraft.
