The group’s six companies include cargo airlines, handlers, logistics services and its subsidiary carrier CAL Cargo Airlines.
It has a portfolio of temperature-controlled products covering perishables and pharmaceuticals and holds IATA CEIV Pharma certification for its two airlines, CAL Cargo Airlines and Challenge Airlines, and for Challenge Handling in Liege, Belgium.
Gianluca Marcangelo, Senior Manager Cargo Transformation of Challenge Group says: “By joining the CCA, we know we can make a concrete contribution to raise industry standards as an active member of the Technical Committee. We are looking forward to networking with other members and enhance our industry engagement to build strategic and long-term business partnership.”
The Technical Committee was established earlier this year to analyse and manage critical points affecting product quality along the cool chain, and to develop standards and initiate projects.
Nicola Caristo, Secretary General of CCA says: “By working with quality-driven experts such as Challenge, we will together make a much-needed difference and we welcome their knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm to help us achieve our goal.”
