EVERY COMMODITY HAS ITS OWN SET OF RULES AND REQUIREMENTS
And you can be certain that Challenge Group is able to handle whatever cargo is entrusted to us. After all, Challenge Accepted is our company motto, and we thrive on finding innovative, efficient solutions for your shipments. Whether it is your Grand National champion, highly sensitive pharmaceuticals, urgent oil rig parts, or any other commodity that needs handling with care and expertise, Challenge Group has the training, the certifications, and the experience to take it off your hands and fly it to its destination.
65% of our business is non-standard cargo, so we are used to thinking outside the box in order to get that box shipped. We offer global door-to-door air transportation and freight logistics solutions.
