Adding B767s to tackle challenges
In what it calls a milestone that "marks a significant step forward for the company, enhancing its overall capacity and operational flexibility", Challenge Group has taken over a B767-300BDSF. The converted B767 is an addition to the existing fleet and is not intended to replace B747-400 aircraft. In the years to come, the B777F will also be introduced as an addition.
CEO Yossi Shoukroun: "This aircraft's enhanced efficiency and sustainability align perfectly with our mission to tackle the challenges posed by certain airport restrictions worldwide, including the 4-engine ban and noise level regulations."
The continuation of the conversion programme is set to begin in September, with two aircraft undergoing simultaneous conversion, and the full fleet of four B767 expected to be fully operational by Q1/2024. (ah)
