OUR HISTORY
WE HAVE GROWN WITH EVERY CHALLENGE TO BECOME THE GROUP WE ARE TODAY
Every success starts from a seed: We set out as a cargo airline tasked with exporting agricultural products out of Israel. In the interests of reliably delivering consistently high-quality services to our customers, we successively mastered all other areas of aviation and logistics and developed into today’s unique Challenge Group.
