Industries served

From first mile to last mile and every mile in between. E-commerce is characterized by its many small parcels that all require short delivery times. Not to mention a differentiated customer base compared to ordinary air freight and heightened security measures. It is a fast-moving and rapidly growing industry that meets its match in Challenge Group. We virtually have everything it takes to carry your e-commerce goods to destination.

Who can imagine a world without high technology these days? From large-scale robotics working on factory assembly lines, to computer-aided design (CAD) and manufacturing machines, precision instruments for the pharmaceuticals or medical industries, all the way through to complex aerospace equipment, high technology products are often highly valuable and fragile. They need to be transported by people who know what they are doing. Challenge Group has those experts.

Every minute an aircraft remains grounded because a technical part is missing, creates costs, frustration, and scheduling problems. Time is of the essence when it comes to AOG (aircraft-on-ground) shipments. Challenge Group is no stranger to this challenge and offers time-critical, tailored, door-to-door solutions to get your aircraft back into the air as quickly as possible, whether it requires a small part or a large Trent 1000 or GE90 engine.

Everyone loves fashion! So do we! And it is our mission at Challenge Group, to ensure that that your favourite brands reach the shops without delay, straight from the factory. We offer efficient, reliable, tailored (pun intended!), multimodal solutions and ad-hoc charter services. 

Food and flowers are best enjoyed fresh! That is why, at Challenge Group, we pay the utmost attention to food safety, hygiene, and temperature management. Just like a chef garnishes a mouth-watering dish, we have perfected our perishables logistics recipe over the past half century, adding flourishes of perfection to safely transporting fish, meat, fruit, vegetables, and fresh flowers.

Safety first, at all times. The transport of dangerous goods is the most strictly regulated field in aviation, and requires in-depth training and care. As a pure freighter operator, Challenge Group, is experienced and audited to handle hazardous material of any class, especially CAO (cargo aircraft only) shipments. We always comply with international regulations and industry standards, and work together with equally professional forwarding partners.

Heavy weight or oversize cargo? Not a problem for us: non-standard is our standard!

Our passion is our forte. When it comes to outsize cargo, (which, incidentally, constitutes 65% of all shipments we handle), we have perfected the combination of fast, flexible, innovative solutions with state-of-the-art 3D load-chart technology, nose-door freighters, and the largest (52-tonne!) high loader in Europe. 

We (literally) are in a position to drive your business! Whether an automotive plant has come to a standstill for want of parts, or you are waiting for your new car, Challenge Group is the answer. We handle and ship all kinds of cargo for the automotive industry, from spare parts to vehicles, across our network, quickly, reliably, and safely.

Logistics is a life-line, but only if carried out with care. Vaccines and medication travel across the world to get to your corner pharmacy, or your nearest hospital. Their effectivity depends on safe, temperature-controlled, hygienic transportation. Challenge Group is completely CEIV-certified, and we offer professional solutions, using top-of-the-range active (Envirotainer, CSafe, and Doksas), and passive (Va-Q-Tec and Skycell) containers, Silver Skin thermal blankets, and dry ice, where required.

A happy horse is a horse that travels with Challenge Group! As one of the world’s leading horse carriers, transporting them on a daily basis, it is safe to say that we love horses. We are good at what we do and we have the certification to prove it. Not just for horses, however. We welcome all animals from pets to zoo inhabitants. They can look forward to friendly, trained staff, state of the art animal facilities, and a comfortable journey, thanks to special and innovative equipment such as our unique airside trailer, for example. Our love for animals is also underlined by our moral commitment never to transport any animals that are intended for laboratory testing.
